[Brighton] NC State band

[Lady Whistledown]

American sports tend to have a very different audience and atmosphere to English football.

I wonder what all those fresh faced US college students thought, a few minutes into the game, when a thousand or so Saints fans started belting out "WE'RE f***ing SHIIIIIIIIIT"

I don't think that the person(s) who put together Sunday's pre-pmatch brief can be very good at US geography, they were described as the Ohio State Band.

Enjoyed watching them for a while pre-match. Pretty good. They were well into the game and post-match celebrations too.

Yeah, really enjoyed them pre-match outside the ground but the fact they were so obviously enjoying themselves during the game and stayed for a good long time afterwards was lovely. Saw a good number of those scarves whirling!

Did anyone film them?

Edit: I think the second one will load, Google is just taking its time processing!

 

[RandyWanger]

I enjoyed that, they were very good. Maybe we can get Meute over for our first European home game.

Just for you...

Never thought I would see my beloved Seagulls and Wolpack together!

Sorry, old bean.
UNC (grad school) old boy here...

Duke is puke, and Wake is fake
But State is the team we love to hate.

Lol ABC (Anybody but Carolina)!

Just seen this thread - as a Cary resident, having the Wolfpack band at the Amex is weird but great to see. Although agree with the earlier poster that the culture gap from US college athletics to English football might have been eye opening for them

Band seems to be a bit of a big deal on their home turf



Reminds me a bit of THIS

 

[Dave the OAP]

Both my girls did “ drum core” marching bands in the UK

They both did colour guard, that is the flag /rifle twirling stuff to national finals level.

in the uk we have great bands, about div 3, Europe have better bands, div 2 and the US collegiate bands are champions league Level. If you go on YouTube check out drum line videos. These kids are just brilliant

was magnificent seeing them and they made a fantastic sound.

It reminds me of when I was in Lima about 16 years ago and it was the inauguration of the new President of Peru. A large military band in full Georgian cavalry regalia marched out halted and then flew into a rendition of Star Wars. It was epic and I've decided it's what I want when I'm inaugurated as Britain's President.

Probably reflected after the game that the Saints fans were entirely accurate in their assessment.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Thanks, that's f***ing awesome. I used to manage a band with a 7 piece horn section, but that's off the scale.

You seen some of their stuff on YouTube? They barely brought half of their number over, probably not even a third.

….until we saw them we wondered what all the London coaches were doing in the car park - there were 5/6 identical ones there

 

[Arthur]

Were they sat in the south east corner next to the away fans?

There was pretty much a whole block with everyone dressed in red but clearly had blue and white scarfs which had me puzzled especially as they were next to the away fans. They seem to very much enjoy the after game celebrations. They all linked arms and were swaying along in time to the crappy europop.

Most of the crowd is out in the lot boozing during half time!

We should get together and watch some games next season! I'm in Raleigh

 

[A1X]

A shame the crowd weren't aware of the full lyrics. Amateurs.
