After more than two decades without a pep band, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Marc Parulekar to reinvigorate this spirited musical tradition at athletics competitions and special events.

A triple-graduate of The Ohio State University (BME, MA, and Ph.D.), Dr. Parulekar said there is no substitute for the energy of live music, adding that the pep band will provide “a soundtrack” and “spark” to Comet athletics and school pride, uniting the athletes, fans and musicians.

Concerts at the Fountains 🎶🎺

Nothing beats live jazz on a beautiful day. Huge shoutout to our Jazz Lab, directed by Professor Tom Davis, for an incredible performance at the Reflection Fountains—and to our music tech students for running sound behind the scenes.

Days like this = great music, fresh air, and campus at its best. 🌿🎷
