Xavier Pep Band [2022]

The Xavier University Pep Band (The X Band) is a performance ensemble, with its members serving as musical ambassadors for the university. This ensemble performs at home men's and women's home basketball games and special performances at other on-campus university events. The band travels to the BIG EAST Tournament and NCAA tournament games for men's and women's basketball.
The group is run by a Band Board comprised of students wanting to get more involved in the X band. The Pep Band reaches well over 750,000 people each season through its live performances at the games and millions through the broadcast media of television and radio.
