MSU band Entrance

[kqr573v2]

I am an Ohio State alumnus, but I love college football as a whole for its traditions, color, school spirit, and pageantry. I love TBDBITL of course, but I also like seeing and hearing other college bands especially in their own stadiums during road games. One of my favorite road trips was to MSU a few Octobers ago. What a beautiful setting for college football, and the MSU band was (is) great. There's nothing like college football.

[ELJimO1985]

@kqr573v2 I agree with you, I am a Michigan alumni and I have to say its great to see the traditions of other schools to see what is special to them. Like Ohio State's "script Ohio" its really cool to see live.

[torchy3615]

Sure, I'll confirm it: MSU is first, OSU is second ;-}

[Lithoxene]

@torchy3615

Not even the SMB claims to be better than TBDBITL. Nor does TBDBITL claim to be better than the SMB. They're pretty even, overall.

[SamiCouture11]

I wanna go here cuz I would freak everyone out and already know the fight song musically

[idfkandrew]

I'm in the MSU SMB and I still get chills every time we do our pregame routine(:

[jrbuison]

It's especially cool if you know the Drum Major (went to high school with him)...

[TheDrummerCam]

i bet the drum majors easily win all the limbo contests

[schs1977]

You may want to check out WVU's band. My favorite colleges are WVU, Michigan State and EVERYONE who beats Michigan!

[biggameshowfreak95]

this is odd not hearing the student section not welling weak during the fight song.

[4a007]

My Dad went to MSU and was in this band. They are so amazing. If I had grown up in Michigan, I would have be going to MSU and been in this band.

[HendersonSpartan]

Yeah MSU has the best band in the land!!!!

[badgersean]

UW, OSU and MSU are the best

[BBKlima]

Do they have the halftime show from I think 1999 when they did the year 2000 bug routine? That was awesome. I was there for all of those games!!

[msudave54]

Fun fact: MSU beat Michigan 26-24 on the date this was recorded. Mention the 2001 MSU game to any UM fan for an explosive reaction.

[treefalse]

Is this done at every home game?

[dsdmonk12]

@treefalse Yes, every home game.

[ieatglue44]

@treefalse Yes, except the Hockey Cheer is no longer done because the student section would alter the cheer to be profane so the Athletic Department told the band to strike the song.

[kdpahl]

Bowl Eligible~

[bigtimeflyer]

Dam straight

[sirresh]

the field looks like fake or plastic. but i still love STATE!!!!

[djseverus1]

@sirresh

the field is astroturf in 2001, until maybe a few years ago

[balmdeezy]

I believe those in the marching band community say that Michigan State and Ohio State have the two best marching bands in the nation. Can anyone confirm this?

[mashdoctor]

There's no doubt about it. MSU and OSU have the best bands in the nation. But I might even go so far as to say MSU is better.

[MWolverine9]

I can confirm that CMU beat MSU

[K3V1NMSU]

i can confirm that MSU beat UofM. Oh whats that? 2 years in a row? Ok. And i know what you're thinking..."It's only 2 years, UofM still leads the rivalry" But then again old records dont really mean shit for the present. It's gonna be 3 in a row soon enough. Go green. nuff said.

[djseverus1]

@balmdeezy

Ohio State also acknowledges this fact.

[blutobelushi]

@balmdeezy As a Buckeye i would agree.

[inthemoment875]

@balmdeezy I'd have to say that the U of M band is one of the best too. The M Fanfare is guaranteed to bring chills, and teeth grinding to any State or OU fan. :) Also, U of M's drum major does the back bend without the hat :)

[budg3620]

U of M's band blew us off the field the first time I saw them. That was Sept 1950 and we had come to perform at the game (all 80 of us) They greeted us by playing "The Farmer in the Dell". Nice touch. Today's SMB can compete with any band in the US. By the way, MSC beat UM that day - and the next three years too!

[smoothskin8]

Morris Brown entrance?

[Videogamefreak16]

im a michigan fan but i have to say this band is really good, i mean near perfect, mabey even better than M of U band

[detrisa7]

michigan of university?

you clearly didn't go to the u of m, or the m of u hahahaha

[bryman0894]

If I were to die tomorrow, I wouldn't go to just any heaven. I would go to East Lansing at the M.S.U. campus.

[mschardyc]

@bryman0894 YEAH BABY!!!!!GREEN AND WHITE TIL I DIE!!!!!AND THEN AFTER THEN.....NEVER LETTING GO!!!!!

[sirresh]

wow, it was just after 9/11

[Jijjin]

It's kind of weird, U of M has the better fight song... but MSU has the better marching band. Actually MSU fight song sounds awesome... but those lyrics...

[UMAnnArbor2]

OSU the best fight song! That's funny! michigan's is the best in Big Ten let alone country. It was written all the way back in 1898.

[Mrspartan2009]

"The Victors is the greatest Fight Song in the country." Wavolax, to say what you said, you either have to be an overzealous fan, or an extremely stupid person. No educated person can argue against OSU having the best in the Big 10. Second in my mind is either UM or MSU in no particular order. I'm a student at MSU and i think that UM has one of the best pre-game routine in the country, (outside from OSU script OHIO). Plus, UM's entrance is better.

[MissDaySevenThousand]

I know you go to games to watch the game, but other than winning this is my favorite parts of them every season. The band is AMAZING. The Halloween (Thriller) Halftime show they put on this past year was FAAAABULOUS.

[mylifeismymusic9]

awesome

awesome awesome...

[tubadude07]

MSU is definietly the top Marching Band in the State right now...U of M is getting better though..

coming from a EMUMB member

[imronburgundy69]

i get chills when i hear the whole thing

[tonetodd23]

MSU has probably had the best marching band in the country in the early 2000s

[wavolax]

michigan is definately not. if you seriously think that michigans band is better than msu, then you know nothing about marching bands.

[fabfiver5]

I love how they limp onto the field. Money can't buy laughter like that!

[K3V1NMSU]

That limp happens to be one of the oldest and most recognized marching band entrances in the country. Not to mention the fact that not everyone can do it. trust me it's not as easy as we make it look. It puts the entire big ten to shame with the possible exception of OSU.

[MXislife72]

You are seriously stupid. The kickstep entrance is ridiculously cool and difficult. I am a drum major at a high school and I went to a DM camp at MSU. Just for shits n giggles they showed us the entrance. fabfiver5, go die.

[Biggie1231]

The Michigan State Band has a Good Style to there Marching .

[ikarooz]

TOUCHE'

[animereader1]

lol

[mdmr2005]

This band has the best sound in the Big Ten and they actually memorize new music each week! These musicians have to have some of the best musical control around to produce such a high quality level of tone while marching. Great Job Spartans!

[Mps5056]

Blue Band is the best

[djseverus1]

Give it a rest. When people talk about the Big 10 marching bands they talk about MSU, Ohio State, and maybe UM. Penn State's "blue band" is virtually obscure and not worth mentioning. Nobody's even really heard of them outside of Penn States' own fan base.

[psuhoops123]

Yeah actually the Blue Band is better!!!!

[wavolax]

umm ok if you mean U of M, youre terribly wrong. msu is waaaayyy better than michigan. they suk.

[K3V1NMSU]

it's funny, you say blue band and most people have never even heard of them. get serious, they're not fit to even look at our practice field.

[kingcyberklutz]

The Best Part of Growing Up in The late 60's & early 70's is That ABC Sports Understood That The BAND Was An important Part Of The College Football Experience! The Announcers Would Step aside Long enough For The Viewers At Home to Hear Atleast one Song From Each Band.

[CDean30]

this right here is the best band in college sports...michigan state is the best team in college football this year *enough said*

[branwill317]

w w w(dot)fightmusic(dot)com

here ya go!!

[miggler678]

Do you know of any websites to get all college fightsongs in wav files or mp3 files??

[Biggie1231]

O are you Memember?

[Biggie1231]

Are they bigger then u of M?

[abone734]

No. But they are more selective. UM's band has flutes and clarinets, MSU's band is ALL brass.

[woodyhayes47]

MSU is not all brass. They have saxophones. Ohio State is the only band that is brass only.

[ikarooz]

"ONLY"? Maybe the only band in the Big 10. Have you seen all the college bands in the country?

[silerbr2]

I did not make this video.. I combined clips from the SMB website.
