    So, that's why they have all those lines down the pitch, for the marching band to measure out their paces!

    Seriously, whoever choreographed that has got a brilliant imagination.

    It's fantastically clever but unlike seeing for example a Scottish regiments pipe band or the Royal Marines it leaves me cold. Looks like its being done for the sake of it rather than out of history or tradition. A miserable post but that's how I see it.

    I think it is a bit of half time entertainment SHG, nothing more.

    Visually stunning. Just sums up Americans that the biggest cheer seems to be heard on the 8 min mark when a couple of fireworks go off.

    They do like their flashy lights and bangs............................

    its a US college HT entertainment.

    The students that do it, do it as a hobby. they arent paid or get any funding, its done in their own time out of class.

    Also just to add, at the end they lower the Michigan flag (their big rivals) and replace it with their own. I would say that is history and tradition

    Not saying the participants are not wonderfully selfless I'm just saying it leaves me cold.
