UW Bones Eat A Rock And On, WISCONSIN!

The band had a great time cheering on the Badgers to another victory in Purdue. The field didn't know what hit it, and it looked pretty terrible after halftime. The fans were great. Thanks to all of the fans who showed up to the game and to our practices. Speaking of fans, who knew that Purdue can't fill a stadium anymore? I'd feel bad for them if I was capable of such a feeling for another Big Ten team. After the game, we alternated playing Fifth Quarter songs with Purdue's band playing boring songs. Why would Purdue fans leave while they played "Fighting Varsity?" I don't know, but by the end of the show there wasn't a single Purdue fan left.

Purdue has a pretty good band, and they have some interesting moves, like their run on. Check out this YouTube video for a decent example. Like I said, interesting, but I wouldn't call it marching.

One thing I don't want to do again is practice on blacktop. Purdue's band may be able to do it, but it's terrible for our marching. Only other thing I'm going to say about the blacktop is that it did indeed have cracks in it after we were done practicing.

And now the football team is 8-1, #7 in the BCS Standings, and #2 in the Big Ten. Good work guys, keep it up.
