The Green Brigade Are Great...But "Silver Eagle" (& Others) Is This The Kind of Pre-Game Marching Band Entrance You Like?

This was last week's OU vs Army Pre-Game.  

I think this was the group who were supposed to parachute the game ball into our own Army game at Apogee last year but was cancelled due to high "cold" winds.

Watch the beginning, but the OU Marching Band makes its Grand Entrance starting about 1:50 on this video.  (Didn't realize the Oklahoma state song came from the Rogers & Hammerstein musical..."Oklahoma."

Wait.  What?  Where are the kaki shorts?  Black shorts.  And are bands supposed to actually march onto the field?  I'm confused.

Didn't the North Texas band march onto the field vs Incarnate Word or was I not seeing it right?

I got there right at kickoff for the SMU game so I didn't get to see anything for that pregame.

In general, the lack of serious marching is my biggest peeve about our band. 

 

Like, watching our band come on to the field vs watching the A&M Corps of Cadets come out. Whole different experience. I love our kids, but we’re generally known as a music school, and our marching band doesn’t march.
