I don't remember the alumni band seeming that old when I was in school.....
Half Time Show
- Thread starter CYber_saber
- Start date
Ugh.
We're getting there.
Huge props the the Vmb tonight. Top 3 show since I've been following them starting around 2000, including the stint I was in.
Well written, crowd pleasing, and well executed. The dinos stole the show, but the rest the drill was solid as well. I enjoyed Cy riding in the ET bike basket.
Unappreciated detail is I believe the dinosaurs were dancing inside the gate to Jurassic Park they drive through on the tour. Flags looked to be the torches.
Solid solid work. Would recommend to a friend.
A+ performance by the marching band last night. Lots of creativity and was entertaining to watch. Idea for a future show: how about a Back to the Future theme? Some good songs in the sound track, maybe Doc and Marty could make an appearance.
The dinosaurs rank right up there with the time the band dropped their instruments and and danced to "put a ring on it" which is still one of my favorite half time shows

The dinos were actually the JV.
I told my daughter that is why you need to make the marching band, or you will be a dancing dinosaur. Although those got a lot of attention so probably not the worst thing. I could do a “back in my day”—the band pissed Jim Walden/Gene Smith off so much that the university was ready to cut the marching band. Times have changed.
Not to ruin the sentiment, but it appears they took the idea from Michigan from last year (including the same costumes)

Dang it Birdy finish the story, what did the band do?
On bus trips we used to “write” on the bus windows with masking tape so passing vehicles could read things. Some of the things people wrote may not have been very supportive of the football staff/team at the time.
We were laughing at this last night at the game. It was just funny and fun - not the usual stuff. A+ for the effort of doing something new.
It is sad to see how many fans leave at halftime and miss the band.
My ex when I was in college was a music major and a lot of her friends were in the marching band, so we always stayed to watch and that was something that always kind of stuck with me after.
Guessing more videos will be popping up but here us a short one of the ending I found

"A band with a football problem?"
I like when they do skits themed stuff like this. I remember a superhero one back in the early 90's where Cy was helping all the popular superhero's catch the villians.
My favorite half-time performance was by Stanford band at the Rose Bowl a few years back....
