Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band Pregame 2009 Outback Bowl

How come no visitor fight song like the rest of the Big Ten?

@Spartan00000000 The HMB doesn't play the visitor fight song when the other band is also present.

@andyk10013 That's odd because everyone else in the Big Ten does. Especially in bowl games. Its a tradition.  Check out Northwestern, MSU, etc.

@Spartan00000000 I don't know if everyone does. But I know that Northwestern always does. IT seems like a nice tradition, but that is just our preference. For the record, I wish we played the other fight song as well...

@andyk10013 yeah its a nice touch. I know Michigan's band does it too. Search the Alamo Bowl Spartan Marching Band pregame sometime and listen to the reaction of the Texas Tech fans filming it. They were really surprised and impressed when State played their song.

4:36  Looks like somebody took Chet's practice pep talk to seriously. "Three Spin until your hat falls off!"
