So maybe Mardi gras style float isn't exactly what I meant. Basically meant a pride rock built on a flat bed that could be moved. If we are going to play the first part of the circle of life you might as well embrace it with the pride rock. Sometimes cheesy can work if you embrace it. I mean tech plays the hokie pokie to start the fourth. Not much cheesier than that at a college football game.

And we do Ice Cream and Cake. I didn't mean it as cheesy can't be a tradition, but that seems kind of lame as an entrance. But that's just me.
Also, jumbling together a string of songs/events can make the crowd lose interest. It needs to be captivating enough to build excitement. Do you think a bunch of college kids (and a lot of other casual fans) would be into the circle of life playing to get them going? Especially once the recency hype of the live action goes away after this year? (I loved the original as a kid and I just watched the "live action" one last night and enjoyed it as well). I'm down for Big Blue running up to something and waving the flag. He already has his solo entrance before the team, maybe that could string together with the team's entrance a little better than it does now. I don't mean to be negative and this board is just for discussion (so I'm probably taking these posts way too seriously) but I know the words on this board make their way to some people who are decision makers in the athletic department, as shown in some of our requests that have been granted.
Also, I didn't mean to single you out. It was just the most recent string of posts so I replied.
I didn't take it as singling me out. Just a discussion. All valid points as well.

Maybe some few simple words included like "go ODU" for the crowd to follow. Include snoop with a line a two. I think this would be a good PR for the Uni if the beat turns out good and later made into a song.
And I would like to request the band to play Beatles " I want to hold your hands" and sing when the opponents have the ball during their first or second down. Just to make the opponents laugh. Maybe students will join too. And when ODU makes first down, band can play "She loves you yeah yeah yeah". And after the game "A Hard Day's Night". Just for fun and games.
If ESPN is going to keep calling us Old Dom, can we commission a remix of a somewhat popular song from this summer and come out of the tunnel to Old Dom Road?

The Billy Ray Cyrus Remix? If so then after a loss they can play achy breaky heart
I didn't know they were recently in town. Best entrance song IMO, "here comes the boys from the south"!!
This is some hot mess. They need bigger amps, like some huge Marshall or Hiwatt like the who have so they can play louder.
The wall of amps isn't what makes it loud, the PA is (usually only one of the amps is mic'd up or DI). For example, bands like Avenged Sevenfold have small amps backstage mic'd in soundproof boxes to get the exact sound they want while the venue's sound system gives them the volume level
EDIT:
On further inspection of the video, they sound loud enough, but phone microphones can't capture the true sound of a rock show haha

I was hoping they would have larger amps so I wouldn't be able to hear what they are yelling about on stage.
