New Pep Band CD!

[Adam Ganderson]

I'd like to add that I find the use of Rock & Roll pt. 2 in the last few minutes of a very tight (tied or us down a goal) games to rally the fans (and hopefully the players) to be one the most powerful and beautiful things I've witnessed/experienced in college hocky.

IMHO

So, would any of you be opposed if the front of the CD was to have a hologram that oscillates when you look at it from different angles so it looks like someone was doing the Macho Man dance? --smirk--

AAAAGH

Age, did reading the Underbone lyrics make you feel any better about the Underhill version?  :-)

I have to say I really like the change of pace of playing "Gonna Fly Now" to start the third (although it caught me off guard the first dozen or so times I heard it).  Playing something different says "Okay, this is the last period, time to take it up a notch."  When I announced for the U of Utah hockey club, we used to play the traditional fight song "A Utah Man" over the PA before the first and second periods (and after goals) but for the start of the third we'd switch to "Utah Victory" ("U...T...A...H...U.T.A.H.UTAHFightFightFight!")

Plus the tune to "Gonna Fly Now" is downright inspiring; I associate it not so much with being the underdog as with going for broke, leaving it all out on the ice.

I do like the Imperial March in general, though.  I remember the football team used to have a defensive back who had a dark tinted plastic visor on his helmet, and I thought the marching band should play it for him.  As it was, he dropped it shortly before they added it to their repertoire.

Offended?  Not at all.  Completely disinclined to purchase it?  Hm...

By the way, Chips, PLEASE tell me that wasn't serious?   ::uhoh::

I think the Pep Band used to play Sweet Georgia Brown at the beginning of the 3rd period.  It was lots of fun, especially when someone was doing a stripteasse to it....it was a great crowd motivator (and calm down...I never saw it get beyond shorts and a swim top.)

I do understand that it would not work as a lead in to Gary Glitter's.

Although I think that We Are the Champions/We will rock you is the 2nd best combo....waaaay behind Rock Lobster/I Love Lucy Theme.

[Lowell '99]

IMHO, John W. nailed it right on the head.  I've probably played that song over a hundred times now (how many third periods are there in 6 1/2 years of hockey?), and I swear it still fires me up just as much now as it did the first time I played it.  I know we (meaning me and the people in band during my time) loved playing it, and frequently commented what a rush it must be to step on the ice and have it immediately start playing.  I'm sure many current band members feel the same.  And of course, there's the ever-elusive perfect timing for the conductor to shoot for...

Besides, Macho Man has gotten more votes than the Imperial March. That should pretty much settle it. ::rolleyes::

Sweet Georgia Brown!!

Wow, Neil, that sure brings back memories!  I remember once (I believe during a time when there were escalating levels of strip-tease bravado on the ice) someone taking the "show" WAY too far and getting himself arrested (yes, unfortunately, it was a guy -- probably the "Skating Bear"!).  Crazy daze...

(...Oh, and where did you get the "Rock Lobster / I Love Lucy Theme" combo?!!  After humming the two in my head, I realized that they had eerily similar melodies... freaky!!)

[Shorts]

I categorically deny any allegations involving me, a striptease to Sweet Georgia Brown at the beginning of the third period of a hockey game, and a swim top.

OK Age, I think you need a new poll giving Sweet Georgia Brown (with Bandie strippers) as a new choice for 3rd period song...

And ZG, Rock Lobster/I Love Lucy is a result of channel surfing from VH1 to TVLand

One thing that I very much enjoyed in the original CD is the music overlaid with Grady's play-by-play for the Brown comeback

Anyone have a box score for this game?

[marty]

I think this is the game.  Box from TBRW!
