Marching band selections from the old days.

Aside from the band not being able to march around the track as it did at Fouts, one of my biggest disappointments is dropping the fanfare it used to play before the National Anthem.

Yep, it's just one of the differences between "showmanship" and just "showing up".

At Silver's request, here are a few tunes from the McAdow era marching band. These were recorded with two mics stuck in front of 125 os so members in the old band room which is now torn down. This recording was also done using vacuum tubes as transistors were not so common then!

 

The Fanfare is from a Wagner opera and was used to open each pre-game. Mr. McAdow liked circus marches and at halftime, the refrain from Robinson's Grand Entry was usually played while the band got into its 'NTS" formation, Then, the fight song was played as the band marched off the field still in the formation.

 

The fight song is the original version circa 1938 or so and the current version was done in 1976. I have no idea when the U N T Eagles chant started. It would be nice to revive the original fight song for next season's 100th football anniversary.

 

The Alma Mater was always played at pre-game just before the National Anthem.

 

Please enjoy!

Christopherwalker, here is the fight song (played as originally written) and the fanfare, that we discussed before the Southern Miss game. I hope you can download them.
