If you all look the conductor held up "40" at the beginning. If you look at the lower right corner band members were opened up to "37" The look on his face when he realized what the band did..priceless!!!

[@faiththomas1749]

In American colleges / universities they’re called band directors not conductors

[@dominicgattozzi2749]

A lot of times pep band books have two songs to a page, so #40 would be on the bottom right of that book.

Nah! He was pretty pissed that they switched songs behind his back, which anyone would be!

[@lunchbox1553]

@@bataton7733 No he was watching the game, you can't play while the game is in play. He needs to know when to cut off the band.

[@johncoyle8551]

@@lunchbox1553 At the college level, he doesn't make that decision. The production director, or whatever the title is, tells the director when to start and cut off through the headset he's wearing. The production director has a very similar job to a stage manager calling a play/musical in a college game of this scale. When and how much the band gets to play is predetermined and they tell the director to go. Specifics may vary depending on where you are, but the general way it all works stays the same.

[@Yes-cd7rd]

The band director was telling them to get out number 40 but in the bottom right hand corner it shows that they had number 37

[@jamesupp3]

So for any who don’t completely understand this prank, the song is 25 or 6 to 4, which is by the band Chicago. The university this band is from is Loyola University Chicago (LUC) so they decided to play one of Chicago, the band, most popular songs

[@bradshell1832]

Guess again!

[@HildebrandJohnson]

Nope. The prank is that the director called for one song and the band played another.

[@moddable6921]

I appreciate your confidence, but no. He directed them to play 40 and they played 37.

[@qwertyuiop8795]

@@HildebrandJohnson this could be why they chose 37 instead of any other song though

[@josephkinser7974]

[@rispatha]

Our band pranks were taking the practice field tower down and putting into the band directors front yard all setup. Then to top it all off we would hike the back end of his car onto the sidewalk curb were he parked at the entrance to the school. That was a 8 inch rise and for a small car that already sat low to the ground it did cause a bit of damage to the rocker panels. We did stop doing the car prank after we learned about the damage and a couple of the auto body students made the repairs.
