"I hereby declare November 18 to be Toronto Argonotes Day" Toronto Mayor Barbara Hall, at the 1997 Grey Cup Victory rally. Really, she said this. Really.

Argonotes is the official band of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. We're a roughly 50 member all-volunteer pep band that plays before, during and after the Argo games, and we'd love to have you join us.
2012 will be our 16th season and a truly amazing season it will be. We are already planning for the band's trip to the 2012 Grey Cup in Toronto.
Special thanks to the Toronto Argonauts for letting us be a part of their game day!
Argonotes - just Argonotes, not The Argonotes, thank you very much - has been the official band of the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts since away back in June of 1995. We think this makes us one of the oldest continually operating bands in the CFL,.
Our growing group of enthusiastic musicians rehearses once every few weeks (during the June-November CFL season) and performs at all the Argos home games at the Rogers Centre.
"We're not exactly a marching band - we're more of a matching band, given that we all wear the same Argos apparel" says Argonotes musical dictator Steve Hayman. "Anyone interested in harmonically cheering on the Argos is more than welcome to join the band. All we ask for is enthusiasm and at least a limited form of musical ability."
We play a variety of
tunes that appeal to the wide range of
members of our group.
Many of
the band members are alumni of the various Waterloo,
Queen's, Western, Toronto, Laurier, McGill and Princeton
university bands and range from recent graduates to people who last played in the 1950's.
During the regular CFL season from June to November, Argonotes rehearses
occasionally, tunes up as frequently as once per season, and performs at all home games,
usually with an informal pre-game concert one hour before game time outside Gate 5 on the
south side of the Skydome, and a few post-game selections outside Gate 2.
You can look at our 2012 Schedule or check out our expanding Image Gallery for a look at the band in action! You can even find out what we sound like.
