Down and Off
The Down and Off a podcast for members, alumni, friends, and family of the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band. Hosted by Alums John Brown ('85-'89) and Tim Clay ('08-'12). Our plan is to dive through the rich history of the HMB, interview folks from over the years, give you a chance to share your stories, learn about the HMB, relive memories, and share in the On Iowa cheer. This is a platform for alums to share their stories with others. #OnIowa #GoHawks

10's Alum Eric Jaffe talking Iowa Pep Band
Happy New Year! Down & Off is back and celebrating Big Ten Basketball and Pep Band with sousie player Eric Jaffe. Jaffe talks about his time in the Hawkeye Marching Band, bowl memories, and all the Pep Band games and songs trips and chants and general shenanigans. From free throw distractions like STROKE!, to sousie horn movements, yelling at the players, Johnny B, White Castle Express, STICKER-GATE, "Give him the chair!!!", and partying with the Stanford Band (From the Big Ten Network, here's the special on the HMB, Getting Ready for the Boom!)
Iowa vs. Gonzaga ESPN Recap - "The Iowa band didn't have any doubts, shouting "neutral site" as the clock wound down."
