*Students who graduate in the fall semester but want to continue to perform with the Pep Band during the spring semester can do so after filling out the VOLUNTEER WAIVER FORM, attaching a current form of insurance, and emailing both documents to Dr. Baumanis. Non-RU students/graduated RU students unfortunately do not qualify for travel.

*Students who attend a New Jersey institution of higher education that does not have an athletic band program may also volunteer to join the Rutgers Pep Bands and can do so after filling out the VOLUNTEER WAIVER FORM, attaching a current form of insurance, and emailing both documents to Dr. Baumanis.
