I'm sick of hearing Immigrant Screwup and Mortal Kombat.

And since we don't play the Imperial March during defense (probably rather have it that way since it's played out), why don't we play the Wolf Theme from Peter and the Wolf?

that'd be badass.

i know there's french horn in that Prokofiev piece, but a well-tuned trombone could do the trick!

START WRITING IT DOWN

Tequila. It's a good fun song that everyone can dance to during a timeout.

They used to play that, but Jose Picart had too much time on his hands and banned it.

3/26/2008 12:54:59 PM

I know one song they shouldn't play

We Are The Champions

3/26/2008 12:55:24 PM

I think that song was banned by just about everyone

3/26/2008 12:55:43 PM

^ NFL banned it because Gary Glitter sexual abused children. NCSU banned it because Dr. Picart got a bug up his ass about the "hey, you suck" thing.

But yeah, you don't hear it many places anymore.

Another thing that's stupid is the FOX FOOTBALL THEME

WE'RE NOT IN THE NFL HERE PEOPLE

AND THAT SONG IS SO ANNOYING

AND YOU SHOULD DO CBS' BASKETBALL THEME INSTEAD

AND CUE JOKE ABOUT THAT THEME AND OUR LACK OF APPEARANCE WHEN THEY PLAY IT IN MARCH

3/26/2008 1:00:38 PM

how bout the nba on nba them

probably the best sports intro of all time

3/26/2008 1:03:12 PM

Purdue's band played Radiohead's 'Paranoid Android' one time at halftime. I heard the MP3. It was badass

3/26/2008 1:04:47 PM

the nba on nbc = winner

3/26/2008 2:27:07 PM

Todd Rungren, "Bang on the Drum"

(The song Green Bay plays it whenever they score a touchdown)

3/26/2008 2:39:40 PM

Good ideas, guys. I like 'em. Just gotta convince Dr. G to use 'em, but that wouldn't be too hard. He's working on getting a larger selection to play during games. I want Immigrant Song gone.

Scrumples, what's that song you're talking about at the top??

3/26/2008 3:35:07 PM

from wiki

Quote :

"Peter and the Wolf was written by Sergei Prokofiev for his son who wanted to learn the story of the wolf without having to read it or listen to it again. Peter and the Wolf is scored for flute, oboe, clarinet in A, bassoon, 3 horns, trumpet, trombone, timpani, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, castanets, snare drum, bass drum and strings."

"3 horns"

french horns for the layman, sir.

Go to the 1:30 mark. That's the theme. Also used for the bad kids in A Christmas Story. It's so appropriate dude, definitely mention it.

3/26/2008 4:20:25 PM

yeah if you guys have any legitimately good suggestions we can bring them up and try to get them in

you think it's bad listening to the same old shit game after game, try playing and rehearsing it multiple years

3/26/2008 4:34:40 PM

knight rider theme

monday night football theme

george costanza's answering machine theme (which is based on some gay superhero theme)

Hey band people: are you still playing "Let's Go Mascots"?

^No.

What exactly does a viking song have to do with us anyway?

3/26/2008 6:45:04 PM

"The Show" by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick

most people will probably mistake the most famous part of it as the Inspector Gadget theme. the "6 minutes Doug E. Fresh you're on" part would be cool to hear the band saying (obviously changing Doug E. Fresh to NC State) that maybe right before the second half begins. i used to have the sheet music around somewhere. can't find it though. it's very good for looping with a number of parts adept to that.

3/26/2008 6:55:12 PM

Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy?

I've got a trunk full of old pep band stuff, i'll need to break it out at some point.

haha that's because a student tried to orchestrate it and write the whole score

there's no way that song would sound good coming from a marching band's instrumentation
