I wish our band could high step! I love the way it looks when you guys do it! I was at the dome yesterday for the competitions thing, I'm from Worthington.. But it's gana take time for us to be really good, we just started doing field show last year..

Thanks! It was fun to perform at the dome when the audience is actually there just for the band.

i dont know whats with all the band rivalry lol but i personally think this show is better than Penn States. however, neither drills are thaaat hard, but this one is better. as far as pregames go ^_^

It's hard to compare things like pregame across bands, especially since every b10 band has their own unique style. Floating lions is pretty cool. Our pregame drill is hard in that it's insanely long, and takes massive amounts of endurance to consistently hit chair all the way through.

M Rotation is the hardest thing we do, in my opinion.

Wow, that's quite the long show. Pretty impressive, although the Blue Band's pre game is better : P (then again I am in the Blue Band). Out of all the other big ten pre games however, this one certainly stands out as one that can compete with Penn State (unlike the freakin' Script Ohio).

Our pregame is the same every game, except sometimes we have to shorten it for senior day. Pregame will have to be altered slightly next year for the new stadium.

Does Minnesota do this for every pre game or is this a special thing for homecoming?

It's homecoming 2007
