Show Your School Spirit

While we thoroughly enjoy a rousing football game at Tenney Stadium, attending sports competitions isn't the only way to show your school spirit at Marist. Marist Athletics provides a multitude of ways for the extended community to engage with our beloved Red Foxes. 

 

Cheerleaders

You'll find the Marist Cheerleaders at home games for numerous Marist sports teams. When they're not cheering on our Red Foxes, they attend competitions like the NCAA College National Cheerleading Championship.

Band

The 150-member Marist Band has become the standard that other small college bands emulate. The group has gained exposure over the years by performing at Disney World, Madison Square Garden, and Giants Stadium.

Dance Team

The Marist Dance Team is focused on promoting spirit at the College. The team actively participates in the Marist community by performing during games and engages in Marist spirit traditions along the sidelines, such as the fight song and band.

Mascot

A fixture at Marist sporting events for nearly three decades, Frankie the Red Fox continues to welcome fans young and old to campus. The appearance of the mascot has changed over the past two decades, but the support and devotion of our beloved Frankie has remained the same. Frankie loves seeing the smiling faces of all the fans at Marist sporting events, and will continue rooting on the Red Foxes for years to come!

The Marist Fight song made its official public debut at the McCann Center on October 13, 2006 when the Marist Band introduced the song at the beginning of the Red Fox Tip-off event which marked the start of the 2006-2007 basketball season. Nothing evokes more school spirit than its empowering lyrics. "M-A-R-I-S-T, MARIST COLLEGE to victory!" Want to see the full song?
