The Bronco Pep Band is a student-run band at Cal Poly Pomona. The band is a group within the [[Cal Poly Pomona Broncos|athletic department]]. It follows the tradition of other student-run bands in the sense that the Bronco Pep Band focuses on the individuality of each one of its members. The band attends athletic events during the year to encourage the school's athletic teams and audience support/involvement. The pep band is entirely voluntary and all students at Cal Poly Pomona or anyone else in the area are free to join. |

In the period from 1949–2005, the floats have won 44 awards. This joint program is one of the longest consecutive running self-built entries in the parade, as well as the only "self built" floats designed and constructed entirely by students year-round on both campuses.

Student life
Housing
There are three styles of residence halls on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. The first to be built are the six residential halls located on University Drive. Phase I of the construction of those halls are four red-brick halls named Alamitos, Aliso, Encinitas, and Montecito and provide room for 212 students each. The remaining two were part of Phase II of the construction project and are named Cedritos and Palmitas and have room to accommodate 185 students each.[1] In contrast to the residential halls, the University Village offers a different style of living as it offers apartments rather than just dormitories to its students. The Village holds room enough to accommodate up to 1,300 students. The newest on-campus residential unit is referred to as the Suites. Phase I of the construction of the suites was completed in 2004 and provides housing for 420 students. [2] The total on-campus population is 3,000 (as of 2008), but will grow to over 3,622 after the Phase II of the Residential Suites are completely opened in summer 2010, making it one of the largest student housing program in the California State University system.[3]
The goal of the fierce housing development launched by president Ortiz is to avoid an environment where many students come to school only for class. Unlike most California Universities, Cal Poly Pomona does not have a student TV or radio station, but campus events are covered by the student newspaper, the Poly Post. A rival newspaper/e-letter The Pomona Point formed in 2007 to satirize articles written in the Poly Post as well as humour students who are familiar with buildings, events, and ideas seen on campus.
PolyCentric [1] is the university's official online magazine. PolyCentric features up-to-the-minute breaking news, announcements of campus events, spotlight on various departments, and faculty and staff resources. The Web site also provides a comprehensive archival search for past articles and photos.
