Notre Dame Midnight Drummer Circle

[Jackpotxx]

my first ND game this was the first thing i got to see, as a 7 year old it was amazing

[coachfb18]

Special school for sure, you can't talk about college football without bringing up notre dame.

notre dame is college football. If it were not for notre dame, college football would not be where it is today.

[ndfaithful]

Has your parish priest been arrested yet? Ours got arrested last night! Seems he was abusing the altar boys for years, and someone finally had the courage to turn him in. We are ND.

[mattymatt009]

Irish Are awsome they could beat every college team

[ndfaithful]

Well, not really. We can only beat teams like Duke, San Diego State, the service academies, Hawaii, South Bend High School, etc.

We are ND.

[Jackpotxx]

no they couldn't, you have no idea what your talking about

[coachfb18]

GO IRISH!!!!

Headed out to South Bend this weekend. Anyone know when the trumpets play under the dome?

[ndfaithful]

It's usually right before we lose the game.

[NorthPilot06]

I know it's a little late to answer this now, but for next year's reference...Trumpets in the dome takes place on Friday at 4pm and on Saturday probably 55-60 minutes before gametime (step-off from the dome is supposed to happen 45 min before gametime).

[NorthPilot06]

Actually, I lied. It used to be at 4pm when marchout was at 4:30...but with the marchout being moved back to 5pm on Fridays (due to the pep rallies being moved to the Irish Green), trumpets in the dome would have been at 4:30.

[ndfaithful]

We call it the "Beat Off Circle".

[NorthPilot06]

Just to answer a few questions....The drummer's circle that you see in this video is midnight drummer's circle in front of the Dome - There's also a drummer's circle in front of Bond Hall after Concert on the Steps; both of these happen every home football weekend. Also, the song that starts at 1:51 is Mortal Combat, but it's called "Techno"

[notkirkcameron]

Actually sounds like "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited.

[drewdogg06]

THATS BADASS!!

[Tjuicebtch]

I got to 1 game every year but I havent heard about this. When do they do it, is it before every home game? And is it always at midnight?

[timoney]

yeah, the night before every home game at midnight outside the Main Building. Be early if you want to see anything, it gets pretty crowded.

[coachfb18]

I LOVE THE IRISH!!!!!!!!!

[kein111182]

[goND26]

i think its infront of the golden dome or maby bond hall

[michael4888]

Great performance by band. Unfortunately, the audience ruins it by adding the phrase "suck it" opponent. This phrase is juvenile and embarrassing. Furthermore, it simply does not occur in the official words of the cheer itself. I wish the student body would grow up a bit and be more considerate of others, especially in the stadium during the game, who don't want to hear such stupid comments.

[irishftball12]

anyone know the name of the song that the band plays that begins at 1:50 in this video

[Irishfan21]

That's "Mortal Combat", most bands have the entire band play that song. However, since the drumline at Notre Dame is the best drumline in the land, they play it themselves, they don't need trumpets to help them!

[AdenRae]

Freaking electric. I love Friday nights.

[Irishfan21]

this is @ bond hall rite?

[neffdaniel]

Nope.

[adidastrucker]

This is sooo awesome. Grew up 20 minutes from the University. will be coming soon to drummer circle

[wmyers7]

I am an alumni from Purdue and regardless of our rivalery I'll have to say this is cool as shit. Your drum line is tight. To bad they are better then your football team this year.

[IndyinIN]

I have to get out there for one of these.

[teepee33]

Go Irish! Beat Jackets! suck it, Jackets! Go, Irish, go!

I love drummer circle.
