I expect a full review from SIlver and others after the game!

Glad the Pony band is coming, it really adds to the game day experience to have both bands.

[meangreendork]

Well, it won't be AS hilarious to compare their band to ours like everyone did at the Heart of Dallas Bowl, but it'll be entertaining.

[malonish]

Both schools have good bands from what I hear of the UNT music program.

[VideoEagle]

Smus band is fun to watch. I wonder if they will be in the Mr Peppermint uniform? Actually, in the heat I hope not!

[malonish]

The candy stripe vest or jacket could be present. I don't know what's on the schedule.

Update: Checked the website. You might be pleased.

They suck. I would rather listen to Russia State's band.

[FirefightnRick]

"She'll Be Coming Roun' The Mountain When She Comes".....

[Eastwood Eagle]

They have the most obnoxious fight song ever.

[Green P1]

Smart. That'll take up a couple seats.

[UNT90]

Are we charging them $100 a band member?

They can afford it, right?

[malonish]

"She'll be loaded with Peruna when she comes"

Unfortunately, Russia State's band cannot make it but they are sending their chorus which will present a "Salute to the Beetles"

at halftime.

"The Best Dressed Band In The Land" - that sums it up. 3 different uniforms for one game. Music? See if you can hear the melody over the whining of the trombones during their "fight song".

[untcampbell]

Keep an eye on their right hands when they are at parade rest....they may drop winter rye seed on the field to spell SMU in our artificial turf.

TCU gives its opinion of the SMU-TCU "rivalry" at the time of the referenced incident.

2 at most, usually one for away games. "Fight song" in quotes is an unintelligent dig because it actually is the fight song.

That'd be like me saying your "mascot" is an eagle. It's pointless because that is the mascot.

P.S. I played trombone. I may or may not have a mohawk from this screenshot on ESPN.

Nah, they're not even able to live up to that title.

Over 30 uniform combinations would beg to differ. It was hell keeping up with all the pieces.

[Proud North Texan]

It's good that they are bringing their band, at least they can learn from ours.

Beat the heck out of $mut and Go mean Green

[the green rokemi]

Let's hope the gb step it up. Nothing worse than hearing another school play louder and more often than ours (ducks)

Volume is irrelevant as long as we've got the pageantry.

[Army of Dad]

Seriously, can we get a band cage fighting thread?

Got it. So when both bands are playing at the same time and the other band is louder I look for the pageantry. Wait, what does pageantry look like in the stands?
