Pep Band/Cheerleaders
muwarrior69:
Do the Cheerleaders and Pep Band get a stipend from the University to travel to the tournament games (Big East/NCAA) or do they go on their own dime?

MU pays for it all - and they are considered student athletes: https://gomarquette.com/sports/2018/5/17/trads-cheer-html

Back in 2006-09 we got a cash per diem each day to cover meals. Lodging and transportation was all paid for.

ALSO: I know, in the past they split the band into a "Blue" and "Gold" and they alternated between the
Mens/Womens
* BET
* First Weekend NCAA
* Second Weekend NCAA
* Final Four NCAA
--- (Depending, of course, on how far they get)
So for a given year, for example, the BLUE squad would go to the Mens BET and GOLD, the Womens BET. Then alternate for the First Weekend NCAA....and so on.
I know that Alumni band members have on occasion been asked to play at games and not sure if they do that for Tourney games as I imagine that would be well attended by band members.
I'm also not sure if they try to take more to the Final Four (as we haven't been there in awhile :) )....there are limits to how many can come.
I think they stay in the same place as the Team and travel a lot with them. I'm sure there is separation at points for competitive focus.
