Ever wonder what its like to walk onto the field at DKR-TMS as a member of the Longhorn Band? pt 1 of 2 by RangerLovingLonghorn 2 of 2 Fir3starter319 and the rest of the band watch a B-52 does a flyover at the 2008 RRS "OHH!" A view right down the drumline as the band plays "Funk" at kickoff Filmed by SpacePyro More allsomeness as Space Pyro catches the tail end of the Texas Fight chant and March Grandiso Beat the hell outta ou! RangerLovingLonghorn gives us another awesome view as the band plays the Eyes of Texas after the game. The motion of tens of thousands of hands throwing the Hook 'Em at the end is pure allsome! pure allsome I tell you You can feel the energy as the band prepares to enter the field before the game against Mizzou... and the band director figures out they're a bit late and need to 'run their own hurry up offense' www.youtube.com/watch?v=OACrpwW8rEk And finally, exiting the field after some much deserved revenge mudholing on the aggies www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYmyMnFkgQ0
now that crashing the gameday was the best of the videos. Finally I heard some good marching baritone! Where have all the good SOBs gone! I don't follow as closely as I should, the last time I heard the band in person the SOBs were pretty weak, it was the Cotton Bowl against LSU.
The shots from the drums are awesome!! I'm reminded of my theory-in-making that coach Boom is a dead ringer for Keith Moon.... almost.
Love the videos, especially having been a member many many many moons ago - okay, it was 1969-1971. However I have one beef - the hats look like they're made out of rice paper. The Stetsons that we wore had more to 'em (thicker) and stayed formed where we all looked uniform, so to speak. That's my only problem with the look (although I must admit I rather like the long coats - look more "western," but I can accept the new look). Thanks again for the videos - it's a special experience that I will never forget. Gail in WA Trumpet
