well, my band is playing it for homecoming next weekend. the dance was all up to our Color Guard squad. they made the routines and they taught us. haha. and we're playin a thriller arangment by Jay Bocook
My marching band did this too as a relief and fun performance for all of our hard work this season. Its on youtube and we had a lot of fun with it but of course you guys "thrilled" better!!
my school's marching band did this for our football shows too, they have the same music, but my school's marching band did the dance for this like MJ did and better than this school, I should've posted it on youtube, but oh well

i guess its a nice try since its a marching band but they have no rhythm, which is bad for a marching band... oh well. just goes to show that thriller was an instant hit and will be remembered forever.
This is absolutely fabulous! ;-) wow. I can't believe that the ENTIRE band was able to pick up the choreo. I am floored. You guys rock, and it just proves that Michael Jackson can make anyone a dancer! ;-) Thank the heavens for MJ...and for the OU Marching Band. :-) You made my evening.

Every time some one views this thriller dies a little (the band is terrible (No offense to the band just to the fact that the song can't be arranged to a band without becoming terrible) 1st notes were ok but then the band lost it
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no i mean any band arrangement is bad
also you sound really stupid saying "YOUR SILLY"
EllieXily: you say that without having ANY knowledge of my musical experience so in response i tell you that i play: trumpet, all the main orchestral string instruments,guitar/bass guitar,piano/keyboard/synth,percussion, and the shotest amount of time i have played is about say.....3 years and the next is 7 years
No I said you 're silly regarding the fact that you view "Thriller" as a bad piece, among music pieces in general. If it's not what you meant, I apologize. You you do mean that, I still maintain that you are!
they did this to get the fans hyped up so that the players' morale would skyrocket...it wasnt about whos band did it better. Oklahoma does have the best program and best band though! :)
One of my friends goes to OU and she told me about this last saturday then i went to the game last night and i was so excited that it was performed again!
The Pride is awesome! They are performing this again 11-10, so don't miss it. As a prOUd Pride parent, it's great to know all of their hard work is appreciated and enjoyed!
Wow... as a former member of the Texas Tech Goin' Band from Raiderland, it kinda somehow hurts to admit that, holy crap, that was maybe the most entertaining halftime shows I've ever watched! And I've watched a lot of halftime shows! Once upon a time, Tech, too, knew how to actually play to a college football crowd. To those of you in the OU band, "mad props!" and I'm glad SOMEONE is out there on the turf, experiencing the sheer rush of that sort of crowd response. HAT'S OFF TO YOU!
please go see southern university at ull halftime to see it done right
