[XIIIthBronzeGod]

i am a die hard aggie... but i have to admit they are good.

[ATXchick12345]

Hey jmricks...What's your name? I was in band that year too! This is Arika Haynes- played clarinet from '01-'05. This by far was one of my favorite shows of all time. I YouTube'd this b/c I hear the band is playing a video game show this wknd for TX/OU.

Thanks for posting! Brings back memories!!!

[robertfountain]

Actually, we're getting ready to perform another show of this sort for the upcoming Colorado Game and maybe the OU game as well, except this year it will be just a Video Game show, so no cartoons/superheroes. We haven't started learning the forms yet, but we have been rehearsing the music and will begin the marching on Thursday.

[jmricks]

Good to hear. I was on the drumline when this video was filmed and we got a great response from the student sections. I'm sure the same will happen with the show y'all are planning. I'll be at the home games and the OU game, so I'll be looking forward to it.

[SamPD2]

Wow, this is amazing!

Do they do these sort of things anymore?

[SFFOOL76]

The 2nd half was one of the most amazing turnarounds I have ever seen in a football game, very similar to Notre Dame/USC in 1974. However a bigger comeback on UT's part.

[nbaietti]

I wish I could see one of these... those who can, pls try to appreciate it, dont take for granted

[GuitaRDudE6722]

the zelda part almost brought a tear to my eye...

[igknightus]

@GuitaRDudE6722 6:43 IS EPIC!!!!!!!

[JeremiahMarksMD]

This is simply badass.

[tryandstopmeee]

this is one of the best bands with one of the worst color guards, which is a shame because guards are supposed to enhance the show not distract you from it...

[jmricks]

yeah, I was on the drumline for 4 years and I totally agree with you. We had a guard, but also "big flags." The actual guard was alright, but the big flags sucked. It was basically made up of people that didn't play their instruments good enough to make the band, but they beat out some people during the marching tryouts.

[tryandstopmeee]

thats just a shame... they should rethink that approach...

[BMTSoulja1]

This whole routine was brilliant! They get a 1!  I loved the flintstones at the begining with the Flintstone's car!

[bobcat2307]

whats the name of the drum cadence as they were marching on to the field

[jmricks]

It's called Tenor Intro, but very similar to a common cadence called Cheerleader. You can get Texas Drumline info and music at TexasDrums . com

[wamow222]

Zelda was amazing

[kairigrl1]

how many people are in that band...ity is huge...i wish our band had that many people

[superfunnybeaner]

it was nice but it was like looking at a slide show...with all respect :D

[SenseiSpongebob]

MOAR!!!!11!

[lwvmobile]

I liked the formations and musical comp better in this than Cal, but Cal had falling tetris peices, that was pretty cool. This video seems to have a much fuller sound and range of instruments than Cal. Ofcourse that could be the video quality as well.

[raincoats]

it was great i liked it but the cal band was a little bit better cause it was non stop action this one is great but the anouncer giving away all the characters was annoying yes their formation was better but the cal band had more soul and their mario underworld song was much clearer. but these are two great bands and great themes

[coachsil]

that's because this band is significantly better than cal's

[solarsonic928]

dis is soooooo cool!

[cjwatsonator]

That was good. I like how the star music only last a few seconds and then goes back to the Mario theme. Brilliant!

[soapXdestruction]

I prefer this one to Cal's because the marching looks more precise. They aren't doing as much movement, but when they are, every beat looks like a subset. I like the arrangements better, too.

[KHismyobbsession]

Oh my gosh. That is amazing.

Im such a marching band nerd. The whole thing was soo amazing. I loved it! =)

[hawkwreak]

I liked the pic for zelda

[krnboi93]

i love dis@@

[LordAsiram]

Musically better than Cal's, but I liked Cal's marching charts WAY better.

[maddenfreak2000]

cal video game show is better

[saberproductions]

This drill is incredibly detailed! Very nice!

[mugreroymedio]

wow this is incredible¡¡¡¡

[jndthomas2]

great video and awesome music arrangements

[sparklekandy]

Holy crap, their brass section is amazing.

Their color guard could use a bit of work, though.

[gotank]

Agreed! Although in all seriousness, you can't hear anything except the brass from this far away anyways.

[beachbummfreak]

texas is da best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!1

[JOchoa4]

just when mario bros started everyone yelled! :D

[krnboi93]

cause mario pwns everyone >:D

[JekHawkins]

yeah, i agree too long in each form, but hey, looked and sounded good anyway

[pmsClov3r]

much better, and as you can see, much more original **points to date** Go Longhorns!

[theonlyidiot]

that's freaking crazy i can feel the burn of keep my trumpet for the whole time both cal's and this show were freaking crazy but i think this one was not as good because they had so many people and the formations would be a bit hard to fit but it was freaking awsome no matter what

[celica18l]

this is so cool! More bands should do stuff we know. I wish I would have stayed in band it was just SO expensive!

Fabtastic job!

[tguiscoolio]

... my uncle would be proud.

[pinoyriceburner]

The sound quality is better in this half time show than cali, but cali had better formations. aside frm that, its really good!

[geckobird]

This is a decent Marching Band show. The music is absolutely excellent, and the forms are decent. However, they stay in the forms for too long. This is why the California's show is better at least in the field forms ~ they were able to flow into many different forms and still play the songs with a good amount of skill.

[KuyaDust23]

pretty nice.the edges to the batman symbol were bad.buht i bet i couldnt do that.

[dericho06]

This one is much better than Cal's - The sounds that LHB makes are much better. Both shows were great though!

[rosebladealchemist]

dude, when they started zelda, the crowd went wild!!!

[delznope]

Played Trumpet in Highschool, Vids like this make me wish I kept it up in college.

[RingoCharmander]

wow. fucking amazing. even though this was b/f Cal's, it's even better. Both were eye and ear candy. love it. more.

[a7xalterbridgerock]

all of it was amazing. i love to superman sheild.. much better than ours. but i guess you can pull that off when you have 350 people. lol. wish you would have done the movie batman theme though. that would have been better.

[renegadewj]

TMNT!!

[silverblaknite]

Cal's is much better. BUt u gotta give props to Texas for paving the way

[gggg54]

I gotta disagree. I think this one is better. But that doesnt mean that cal's wasnt awesome.

[psycoticneko]

I actually agree with you that Cal's was better - it was more interesting because they had more movement and action to it than this does; which is pretty much changing images. I also think they could have had more color guard involvement. Which is another thing that amazed me with Cal - they didn't have a color guard (or any that I saw anyway).

brings back good band memories though! :D

[D34dlySpork]

The Cal Band doesn't have guard but they still pulled together a very cool show.

[psycoticneko]

that's what I meant with my last statement, that Cal pulled off an awesome show without a color gaurd. ^^; Prolly wasn't very clear on that.

[Ghob1317]

Oh my god.... The zelda shield, oh my god! Amazing! I am so happy you didnt do the triforce. The shield is much better, and shows off more talent.

[utshowtime]

I was at this game. View was very similar to this one (upper deck). Best student response ever to the LHB. This > Cal

[savesthedayhorn]

one of my favorite shows that I ever marched in LHB

[SaintHyodaru]

Wow, just amazing, I almost cried when I heard all those beloved cartoon, series and videogames old songs

[RinoaHartilly]

I would definately love to do this show... or be a part of ther band

[zikikki]

6:54 up until the "T" ftw....

[Slash5150]

6:54 FTW

[taminnator]

THAT IS THE BEST HALF-TIME SHOW along with the other game one. I wish High Schools can do that.... but we dont have many band members..

[MAIcrosoft]

ok, thats the most ugly mario i've ever seen lol

[taminnator]

its ok.. they were trying to make the old mario from SNES i think

[mamodo14]

the zelda logo waz AWSOME

[delsolcoughing]

For what it is it's creative amd amazing

[theproz]

I live less than 10 minutes from UT stadium. Just beautiful to watch. The Zelda formation was better by this group. Saturday morning childhood memories all rolled into one marching band.

[scottthebum]

wait.... what pacman? i miss something?

[jmricks]

It was the very beginning of the videogame part. Just the little intro.

[scottthebum]

never said thanks. thanks ;)

[aviatcomicbookbin]

The Batman logo did it for me.

[jonzibar]

the BEST halftime show i've seen

hands down

[bohoki]

the flag people dont fit and are distracting

[taminnator]

yeah i agree. only if they did something more useful

[dimdez01]

i love it!

[whybanme]

Freakin' sweet.

[nyargalarga]

Wow, these guys are damn good for a college band. I'm really impressed. Also, the show looks like it was a lot of fun to do, too. :D
