Why can't our Band do that?

[Apis Bull]

Didn't they do the iconic U before the Pitt game?

[MikeG]

it is neat and a great tradition

tradition takes time though and we need to come up with something "nifty"

[HOTMello2005]

They're young...They've only been doing games for 10 years.

Correction, this is only our 8th season.

And we do Spell BULLS during March V as well as the Iconic U during the Fight Song at every pregame last year and this year.

I too think the "Call of the Bulls" is awesome!  I remember Dr. Robinosn telling us of an experience this year.  I forget which game it was, but he and his family sat in the stands to watch the pregame show.  There were a couple of opposing fans saying, "That's the band.  Dang they're small!"  Then a couple of Bulls fanatics said, "Oh, just wait, you ain't seen nothin' yet!"  When we ran on, the opposing team fans said, "I get it now...That's pretty cool!"

I have to give kudos to OSU Marching Band.  That is a friggin' insane and friggin' awesome pregame.

TUBA'S!!!!!

K, off to my watering hole for the game.

GO BULLS!!!!!!

I don't think it's so much them spellng out the word "Ohio" that is so interesting, but the fact they do it in script marching single file (single file?).

[Bull Martin]

We do need something special, but let's not copy someone else.

OSU has one special tradition!!!

Yeah let's not copy thier marching band we already totally ripped off FSU's fight song we don't need to steal OSU's band!!l

Woooooo!!!

Now dont get me wrong, I hate FSU, but seriously stop whining about stealing tradition. Our band should just do it and do it better!!!!

I would much rather see H.O.T. line up facing the student section in the end zone and play the fight song (or national anthem) while the whole student section sings. Of course, that would require the student section to learn it. But, I think it would be nice to hear 10,000 students sing either/both those songs before the game. :GoBulls

[Bull Martin]

Like the fans on the sides they play it to know it...  

[USF03]

Ahh traditions.  The things that great teams are made of!  We have a few... A LOT for only being around for 10 years (8 yrs of band).

On our school song page (which I need to update and repair...) we have the words to all of our songs.  I also included what fans should do during our downs cheers.  I'll be adding more soon.  Suggestions always welcome.  http://band.arts.usf.edu/standsspirit.htm

What does the band do gameday?  Check it out:  http://band.arts.usf.edu/gameday.htm

Do we do any USF/Bulls forms on the field?  DUH... come early for the pre-game one day like everyone in OHIO does... haha...

The "U"

The "Bulls" set

Our History... http://band.arts.usf.edu/history.htm

That first year began the tradition of the “running of the bulls†in which the band ran from the tunnels of the stadium, stampeding onto the football field.  We still do it every pre-game... for those who come early... or at all.

and of course other traditions that the band helps support... like the go bulls hand... etc

AND "THE BULL" ... our "warchant" http://band.arts.usf.edu/media.htm#audio

Always looking for more... give it time...

LIKE ALWAYS... SUPPORT OUR FUNDING SO WE CAN GROW AND GET BETTER!!!

In BULL Pride,

USF03

I agree.  I bet others would too... e-mail our director at mrobinson@arts.usf.edu

I think the military block like what Ohio and Florida State does would be good for this... we could march towards the student section while playing the fight song... during halftime as our exit????  It would be a great way for us to get off the field... isn't pre-game... but we could always use a halftime wake up.

[USF03]

Any ideas guys???

I know we are all down over the UL game... but it was somewhat expected.  We will beat them in Ray Jay next year.

Tradtions ideas?
