Screamin' Eagles Pep Band

About Us

Under the direction of Mark Metrinko, the American University Screamin' Eagles Pep Band is the university's musical spirit at athletic events and various university functions. The Screamin' Eagles are composed of members of the entire American University community. Our students represent all academic colleges and majors, and faculty, staff, alumni, and community members share in the spirit of the Pep Band as well. Members are also involved in a variety of campus wide activities, fraternities and sororities, clubs, athletic teams, and societies, and come from all parts of the country.

The AU Screamin' Eagles Pep Band's primary function is to help foster school spirit throughout the American University campus. This is accomplished through performances at athletic events - primarily men's basketball and volleyball games - and other functions which are approved by the Band. Generally the Band commits to approximately ten performances per semester, as well as rehearsing weekly in the Katzen Arts Center during the fall.
