    Iowa State University Cyclone Varsity Marching Band played the theme song to "Coach"

    Fun fact that I just learned today: our marching band recorded the theme song to the 1990's TV series "Coach". Please tell me I'm not the only one who didn't know this until now...

    EDIT: please see loki8838's post for the full story on this (#13 in this thread)...apparently Wikipedia isn't 100% accurate (imagine that).

    Mind blown

    The Coach opening theme by John Morris, which also served as the Minnesota State Screaming Eagles school song, bears more than a passing resemblance to the Minnesota March authored by John Phillip Sousa. The theme song was recorded by the Iowa State University Marching Band, and the band was also shown in the opening sequence of the show.

    You know why that show lasted so long? Because people never got bored after the theme song.

    You know why people never got bored after the theme song? It wasn't followed by Bells of Iowa State.

    So does Iowa State get a royalty every time a syndicated re-run is shown?

    Re: Iowa State University Cyclone Varsity Marching Band played the theme song to "Coa

    That's not entirely accurate. We did not record the theme song that was used for the bulk of the show. There was a national contest to choose one band to record a live version of the song and subsequently get aired on the show. At a halftime show that season we played a version of the theme song and morphed into a formation that spelled "COACH". That video was sent to Hollywood and we were chosen as the winners. That footage was used over the end credits of 1 episode in the mid '90s. As the winners, ABC TV paid for a cassette single to be produced with the fight song as a B-side (recorded at CY Stephens). Ironically, by the time it aired, Coach Fox had taken the job with the Orlando Breakers in the NFL. Later on, the ISUCF"V"MB director at the time, Roger Cichy, got a walk-on roll in an episode. Not sure if ABC ever caught on to it, but when Cichy arranged the song for our band, he added the last few bars of our fight song as a tag onto the Coach theme song.

    Edit: Found a youtube version of the ISUCF"V"MB version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhTPeov9mMA

    Wasn't that coach supposed to mirror Hayden Fry or something?
