NashvilleBilliken Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I hate to start a new topic for this but wasn't sure where it may fit in. Does anybody have a link, file, etc of our band playing "When the Saints go Marching In"? I feel like there was one circling about a decade ago but I can't find it for the life of me.

Mp3s should be in your inbox. also, if anyone else wants a copy of the 2nd band CD, we have a limited quantity left for a $10 donation to the band.Makes a great Christmas present! Stop by the band when we aren’t playing during, pre, half or postgame. NashvilleBilliken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilliKat Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I have been going to games Consistently since I was 6 years old... the band has always been one of the greatest highlights. Maybe it’s the mom side of me, but I wish there was much more band involvement and less overhead music.

SluSignGuy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 To chime in, the last game I brought two friends who have only been to one game before and each repeatedly commented how good the band was. We are lucky to have them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 i admittedly am biased as i play with the band over xmas break when a lot of the students go home for holiday. that said i can tell you that the talent level of the Billiken band is off the chart for a pep band. and the diversity of instruments is fantastic. anytime you see 3 or more tuba's in a pep band you got something. a lot of casual listeners dont understand that statement, but trust me, it truly is "all about the bass". we got soloists in the trumpet and trombone section that are extremely high quality. they do stuff that you might see on Beale street not in chaifetz arena. yet we got em! and watch the band's game participation. they blow the shells on the 3 pointers made. they waive off the opponent that just fouled out telliing them to "sit down". pay attention to the lyrics the next time they play "Hey Baby". typically a great jab at a member of the visiting team. like i said above, they are your consistent defacto student section. it is fantastic when the students show up AND participate, but the band shows up and participates every game. dont take that forgranted. dont push the band aside so a few more kids that are there for the pizza and chance to win a notebook can have closer seats. embrace the band. they are the real rowdies. cgeldmacher, TheDude, Zink and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Roy, I did not know you were a musician. What instrument do you play when you are helping the band over Xmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcbill Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 With a little help from this board I made the Saints my ringtone. I get the greatest reactions. Love the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laying it on a bit thick there Roy, aren't ya?! With that said, we always look forward to having any of our former and/or guest players play with us! We still hold true to this to this day: "Once a band member, ALWAYS a band member!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
