Title: [EPIC] Cal VS Washington State Halftime Show
Post by: Bobbias on November 25, 2007, 05:56:25 AM

The Cal Marching Band plays a medley of video game music. It kicks some SERIOUS ass.

That was pretty tight, not gonna lie. I wish my band could do a show like that, but now, our shows are always mature and serious. However, me and my friend learned like a half dozen video game songs during off-times in band. We learned the Mario 2 theme, Bloody Tears, the Underwater theme (from SMB), the main Super Mario 3 level theme, the Gilgamesh theme from FF5 (kickass) and we're now working on the Storm Eagle theme from Megaman X. Good stuff.

Haha, Storm Eagles's theme is awesome.

I loved the marching and stuff that they did to accompany the songs though. Tetris was awesome. There were a couple spots where some of the band was slightly off time, and they simplified the Mario Underground Theme too much for my liking, (well, it IS really tricky to play that fast part right, little more get the entire band to) but still, an awesome showing.

I just wish it wasn't shot from behind. Cool show and all, just needed a better angle.

Yeah, Though something else bothers me: the random sound drops and such. It's probably mostly the band, but there were some times where some instruments were barely audible...
