This is a grat song, converted and practiced to perfection(or as close as they could get with a full marching band class). Imagine if you had practiced one song for weeks, in preperation for this one day and the people in the stands yell"YOU RUINED A GOOD SONG" or yelled "YOU SUCK" or said "THAT WAS LAME" imagine how devistated and discraced you would feel (I play trombone and marching band isn't as easy as it looks.)
Now, now. The Spirit of Troy plays when the team scores. It works.
You don't expect the football players to slack off during a bowl game do you?
Both teams played well, I thought.
As for the USC marching band, there are plenty of excellent videos on you tube if you crave variety. Do other university bands play Avenge 7x-with Deathbat formation-The Offspring, etc?
Really now? The real joke was USC's horrible and poorly disciplined playing and marching. For goodness sake, I saw one flute player using some bizarre hop/high step-ish style, and the girl RIGHT NEXT TO HER was roll stepping. That AND the sound was just plain terrible.
Idiot! There are no flute players in the frame of this video. There is NO ONE "roll stepping." You simply do not understand this style. And as far as "sound" goes, if you don't like the tone quality, most band dorks are taught to hate it by their directors... this brassy and exciting tone quality is not for the weak. Style... not law, thank you very much.
Idiot? Maybe you? I was THERE and saw it with my own eyes, clear as day. I don't march with the PSU band, but, I have enough experience in marching and corps to know a good band when I see one.
So, I guess powerful sound and uniformity is sacrificed for... uh, "style". And speaking of discipline, "hats off" to the guy at 2:06.
@IMK110: Yeah, right. Show me your ticket stub or GTFO. I was ACTUALLY at the game but the comments should be about THIS VIDEO, not your imagined personal experiences.
One missed halt or not, the TMB was stronger and more entertaining. And I was hoping that psu would give the TMB a bit of a challenge, too. As is, even a ho-hum TMB performance IMHO, killed the blue bland. Another "big"10 let down.
USC doesn't try to be corps. They try to be entertaining. In college a band plays for the school and the team, if you can't get the fans excited then what is the point?
Penn State sounded good, but it felt like a high school band tournament. There was no spirit or enthusiasm. USC plays what people want to hear. It may not be its not the most technical but the fans like it and the team likes it.
I love the random guy about 50 seconds into the video that walks buy and just yells "'Scuse me!"

Yeah, that was a great Queen show by the Penn State Band. A 1970's Halftime show for 1970's football.

lol I was cracking up when Penn State played "We are the Champions"! A little ironic that they played it as they trailed 31-7? lol

Seriously,it must have done something. Penn played better in the second half.
GREAT SONG.I wish the sound quality was a bit better, because it does not do The Spirit of Troy full justice here.

PSU completely owned them, SC needs to look up the definition of "uniformity" and apply it to their marching.
