Football + Music in America = Bands

I follow football to regulate excess serotonin.
In the spirit of the American Food thread, this is intended to be a thread on the subject of how we handle the nexus between football and music, as opposed to how it is done in L4. I am second to none in my respect for the power of the Gwladys end unleashed in joy or fury, but let me lead you down the many paths we have carved over here in 'Murrica.

As an old bandgeek, one that spent my early feckless years plying the trade of Band Director (head bandgeek in charge) I feel qualified to take you on a path with which you may be unfamiliar.

I'll start over here in the HBCU band world. Here's a message from "the world's most famous beach."
Anybody out there remember Cameo? This is from the most important part of most any HBCU game, which is the Fifth Quarter Battle of the Bands. Stick around after the game to catch the REAL action.

To define, HBCU equals:

Historically
Black
Colleges and
Universities.

Here's how they might respond to a bogus red card as given out by the likes of a Clattenburg or Atkinson
in the heat of an honest struggle marred by random falls and drops in the penalty box from red-clad whoppers. More after, just absorb this. Questions welcome.

 

This is great.
In high school we played a school from Tulsa that was predominately black (unheard of outside of Tulsa or OKC).
They had a fantastic band like this. Caused quite the uproar in some of the smaller, conservative Oklahoma towns.
