Listening to the Band of the Fighting Irish was one of my fondest memories of attending the university. Thank you for such a great video. It gave me goose bumps.
@Nugent4Heisman Uh, they just received an award this fall from an organization that hands out every year what is considered the equivelant of the Heisman for college marching bands. They received it on 10/8/11 at the home game against Air Force. They are the number one band, I know it and witnessed the evidence to prove it for I was at the game. GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they are rather spectacular. Personally, I think the best marching band would have to be MSU's Spartan Marching Band. Both are certainly better than USC, though.
USC'S A JOKE. "THE BAND OF THE FIGHTING IRISH" IS THE BEST, PERIOD. I'M NOT AN ALUM. JUST A FAN FROM DETROIT WHO SAW MY FIRST ND GAME IN 1957. NOTHING, ON ANY GIVEN GAME DAY, RIVALS ND AND THE BAND STEPPING OFF TO THE STADIUM.
USC is a terrible band, the Irish are a great band, the Ohio Sate band is the best damn band in the land! The drill is way more complicated they chair step their halftime, and sound amazing. The irish are loud, but ohio has a way better sound.
