Squaaangs
Welcome to the Squaaangs. Now you may be wondering, what in the world is a Squaaang? It’s actually a combination (portmanteau for all you smart cookies) of the word Squid and Strangs. Our section is the heart and soul of the YPMB. We make it zany and amusingly unconventional with our non-traditional instruments. Want to play a cowbell or a violin? How about a guitar or upright bass? Still pretty standard, but what about a washboard or a garbage can? Heck, we’ve even had people play couches on the field before. So if you want to play an instrument that’s not generally accepted in a marching band, join the Squaaangs.
