Holy shit! I am actually applying there! Gotta finish up my application before the end of the month though...
Dude thats awesome. I really wish my marching band could of done something as awesome as that. Our show this year was Disney shit...
Does anybody have a video from the other end of the stadium, so the MK and the Tetris blocks aren't upside down?
I posted about this a few days ago, but this video is much better than the one I had found. This one is from the other side and is much clearer than the other, so it's neat to see all the details in this one.
Why couldn't that be my show this year!!
It should be noted a very talented high school group (which on a competitive level tend to be more advanced than collegiate bands (not drum cores of course)) did a show focusing on the music of Final Fantasy two years ago that was also orgasmic.

Just for reference, that was the Cal mascot pushing over the USC mascot. Guess Washington didn't want to play along with the Cal band.
@ charles, UCLA has been playing south park the movie for the last couple weeks. Not as cool but still pretty good.

Oh snap that was amazing. The flag moving down was my favorite as well, followed closely by the pokeballs opening.
Mad props to them!

haha i haven't gone to one of our games since the cal game. we're in a pretty sad state right now ): But i never watched the south park movie so i wouldn't know either, i remember they played the simpsons at the Cal game though.
Meh, the formations where decent for a college band, but creating a shape then mark timing for 32 counts isn't very difficult to do. The brass need to work on being able to play and march at the same time, as well as stagger breathing.
If you want to see a REAL marching band, check out the various DCI competition videos.
In fact, check out THIS ONE.
Still, major nerd points from me.

Mississippi State (a personal favorite -- the SEC > whatever conference you like) played a Mortal Kombat themed show ... 2 years ago?
Talent and dedication... gatta give mad props to that band. If Drumline had that in it, I think I might of had 1% more of an urge to watch it...
Total percentage would of been 1%... but still...

I have no idea what that was in between the Tetris and the Pokemon, didn't resemble Mortal Kombat in my mind.
Wanted to let everyone know, seeing as MYSELF being an ex marching band geek lol
The reason it sounds off or doesnt link up right, is because the reverb most of the time. But the time you hear it way up in the stands, were already playing different music.
Thats why the conductor is right in from so he can hear it right when the music is played.
So yea! marching band rocked, miss it damnit

man the only thing wrong with the video is its upside down!!
will someone please flip the video and reupload it? that way we can see what exactly that was in the mortal kombat sequence... it would look like it was on a ceiling but at least its the right way round

@Eschatos, that's 'cause it was the dragin symbol from upside down. I didn't get what it was until the very end.
That was cool enough to waste a few minutes of my life on. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Brilliant! Who says video games haven't had a profound effect on our culture and lives be damned! Tetris blocks = best part. :)
Wait a minute. They had a match? Seriously, I realize we're all geeks so many of us aren't huge sports fans, but they had a game. Match just sounds awkward.
That was an awesome field show though.

Wow that was the best thing ever. Totally best marching band ever, I would have stayed in band in ours was anything like that!
That was freaking unbelievable. My favorite parts featured Tetris, Pokémon, and the end-of-level from the Super Mario Bros. games at the end there. Awesome!
I'm guessing that most of the references went over the heads of most of the people there, but that's totally awesome.

Yeah the trumpets missed a bunch of their notes, but overall that was pretty damn awesome.
What I want to know is who did the arrangement: Was it the conductor at UC Berkeley or did they get a VGL compilation from Alfred Publishing?
BTW Video Games Live has a deal to publish some video game music for band via Alfred Publishing.
