The Stanford Band performs its de facto fight song, Free's "All Right Now." It was a kinder era, a more tolerant era, where a trombone player could be as drunk as he damn well pleased..... not like those stiffs from USC or Cal!

My Southern California middle school's after-school drumline, Spring 2008, worked their butts off two days a week learning portions of Cal (UC Berkeley) Band's marchup cadence sequence. The club was open to everyone regardless of instrument or experience, everyone started on pads learning the snare part to Military. This video marks about the 2 month mark, when we first started using tenors, and before we added cymbals. Everyone rotated parts--they chose their instruments amongst themselves for the video. Left to right: Basses: 7th grade clarinet, first year in band, first year in US. 6th grade violist/saxophonist/bassoonist. 6th grade killer flute player. Snares: 7th grade electric bassist/trumpet player, transferred in midyear. 8th grade percussionist (center snare) 6th grade percussionist, drumline obsessed! 7th grade percussionist Tenors: 8th grade percussionist who finally showed up a week before this shoot. Yay, peer pressure!
