Penn State Blue Band GoPro White Out Pregame vs. Ohio State 10/25/14

A Penn State Blue Band Pregame experience with a GoPro view and a full band overlay. Welcome to the WHITEHOUSE!
Also: the audio is from the overlayed video and not from the GoPro (to get a full band sound), so the notes played by me may seem off from the audio because of the echo in the stadium. (Except during We Will Rock You)
Spot marched: L10

[@oreoes251]

I'm more impressed with the fact that they keep their lines straight.

[@joeybennett1491]

David Hollie haha I know! I can’t even mow a straight line!

[@MilkyWay-nq1fk]

@@joeybennett1491 same when I mow it's all over the place haha

[@Aidan13547]

It's all about that 8 to 5 step

[@RowdyJr]

You gotta have good memory just like any military marching band to know where the fck you're going when you have to be in different spots with every different person you come across and you have to professionally do this correctly or else you might screw up and get lost track. It's not easy as you think. You would have to keep practicing every day without being on your phone for months 😅😂

[@RowdyJr]

And I'm gen z myself and I don't know how my generation does it while being glued to the radioactive phone screen every day and have gold fish like memory where you can't remember a damn thing 😳😂 I'm glad I never signed up for no marching band in high school or in college for that matter lol.

[@tomgurecki1204]

So that's what it's like to be out there. WOW!

[@TimBuckleyWX]

Pro move double checking the mouthpiece before horns up. #WeAre

[@courier712]

#PennState

[@AdamMarcLeonard1977]

Wow. First few times i watch it I started to get dizzy with all the sudden sharp turns! Amazing how coordinated and carefully choreographed it is, and how much practice hard work you guys must do to get it perfect for gameday!

[@IndigoBone]

This is just like being back on the field again! Well, almost... But close enough! Thanks!

[@JuggaletteNikki]

One amazing video!!! gave me goosebumps and brought back so many memories as to why i love PSU!

[@jameslowe3014]

My cousins go to Penn State, one wants to be apart of the band! I’m a saxophone player in my school’s marching band, and I KNOW that’s the hardest ways to carry a sax (one hand near the bottom and keeping it as vertical as possible). My school’s marching band scrapped that way and we now hold it horizontally with both hands. I sill am amazed how you guys keep your lines so straight (I know it’s practice, but still)!

[@alexlandress4854]

Awaiting the upload of of a first person view of that amazing half time show. Blue Band kicking ass as usual. Just wish our football team was doing the same...

[@jcortese3300]

Thrilling.

[@johnnylyu6384]

This is awesome!

[@jinglemyeon307]

So excited that I get to play with these guys in a few months!

[@wyatthayes9380]

Dude, so does our marching band in two weeks. I'm in the St. Marys band. What band are you in?

[@jinglemyeon307]

I'm in Williamsports band. What group are you guys this year?

[@wyatthayes9380]

Didn't even get placed... No one in out class. Everyone was below B so we had no competition for the first show. Our home show was yesterday.

[@wyatthayes9380]

What do you play?

[@jinglemyeon307]

Trumpet. You?

[@morgannagy3739]

THE BEST!!!!! Love seeing this and knowing I was in the stands. Seeing the band from this perspective makes me want to join the best college band. WE R !!!!

[@spencervarsh8337]

PENN STATE!!!

[@johnn5524]

I've never understood how the Blue Band's pregame was never put on a list of the best pregames of collegiate bands. The Floating Lion drill is much more involved than OSU's Script Ohio and more thrilling than Michigan's M drill.

[@johnn5524]

Following the leader for an entire ~5 minute song is simple and gets boring.

[@johnn5524]

I could be wrong. Would you list 7 choreographic details that I might not have considered?

[@johnn5524]

Your avoidance of an answer is admission of your ignorance. I was hoping for an intelligent discussion but I see now there is not one to be had with you. Have a good day.

[@josholarsch1569]

John N Check out IUP's pregame it has counter marches column turns and more!

[@davidlasseter4204]

I know right?

[@cowboy1137]

Their game app is pretty fun

[@jenym4926]

Amazing precision

[@theoreticalphysics3644]

know somebody who plays lead trumpet here (a past neighbor of mine) im wanna join the blue band to play trumpet but i feel like it'll be too nuch to handle with a physics major given jow busy i was in high school marching band...

[@ttsuter87]

How did you hide the camera? Was it hidden in your hat with a cut-out on the PSU logo? Or was it hidden in your plume. It seems well attached. All those sharp about-turns and it’s very well secured. Pro level. This is what I’m most impressed about! How did you do it?

[@JonGrossBroadcasting]

This is amazing #WeAre

[@tylertyler6214]

Was anyone else impressed by the camera guy running at 2:36 ?

[@doglover4741]

Me

[@doglover4741]

Great video, also at 1:33, how come those 2 are that close

[@summers232]

Ah, the thrills of being in a marching band.

[@durgs659]

Hell yea, go blue!!!! wait a second...

[@mayorl]

Does anybody know what key fight on state is?

[@dixiemyers8450]

I love watching the Penn State Blue Band. I watch this video every day. WE ARE PENN STATE!!! I will be putting Isaiah Penn State jersey on. Mommy doesn't even have a jersey. Isaiah is my fury four legged Shihpoo

[@ivanluna7332]

how do you play high notes i cant play them on trumpet.

[@marclaporte3710]

It's too bad Penn State decided to lose this game for whatever reason because that was amazing !

[@okedoke1234]

would have been nice to mute the sound from the embedded overall shot.....

[@okedoke1234]

Got people talking about seats, etc....annoying

[@griffincardwell8719]

Can any one give some advice for marching band? I’m currently in 8th grade and trying to decide if I should do marching band or not.

[@AGairsoft1]

Do it. You won't regret it, trust me.

[@griffincardwell8719]

AGairsoft1 thanks for the advice

[@callboxib1661]

Griffin Cardwell what will you play? Anyway you should do it no matter what. Of course its going to cost a lot but it will be worth it. You will get a lot of new friends. I was in pit and freshmen year in high school right now. I loved it. You will make lots of new friends

[@griffincardwell8719]

callboxib I play trumpet and thanks for the advice

[@theextreme737]

What's this song called at the end if the video

[@kevingibson7506]

It's We Will Rock You!

[@mayorl]

Fight on state

[@marclieberman9287]

+theextreme737 It's a mash-up of "Rock and Roll Part 2" and "We Will Rock You", with a bits of Hail to the Lion and Fight On State thrown in.

[@mayorl]

What did the trumpets have on there mouthpieces?

[@matthewminnich8251]

berps

[@mayorl]

+Matthew Minnich thanks, do you know what key "fight on state" is in?

[@mayorl]

[@1Corinthians1514]

We Are

[@stevemeinecke]

I have family went to Penn state alumni the best band in the country go PSU go blue go

[@benthompson5509]

Hi

[@hockeymann88]

This

[@2009grifin1]

Look .... I am a huge PSU football fan but until the BB comes into the 21st century with their drill design and starts integrating the color guard and twirlers into the drill they will always be behind the time. BTW they do have a super pre game.... I have been watching it since 1975!!!

[@josholarsch1569]

2009grifin1 IUP!

[@swatson999]

+John N Perhaps it's because you're full of crap -- that was certainly NOT more involved than Script Ohio.
