The Notre Dame Marching Band performs a new halftime show each home football weekend. Last weekend, the marching band's Notre Dame vs. Washington halftime show was a student favorite.
The first song was "Come Sail Away" by Styx. The marching band sounded great and the marching was perfect. During the performance the marching band first formed the word "Styx." The lines were straight and exactly like the band's logo. Next the band formed a sailboat on water and waves. As the band played, the sailboat moved across the field and the waves flowed underneath.Next the band played "Walk Like an Egyptian." During most of this song the band stayed in a pyramid shape. I thought that the band could have done a little more with this formation. However, they did take some time to actually dance which added to the interest.
Lastly, the band played "Fire Burning on the Dance Floor" by Sean Kingston. This brought the student section to life. The marching band didn't create any cool formations, but instead focused on dancing. The student section was singing and dancing right along.
Of course, the marching band closed with by forming the traditional monogram ND.
