I was at both Western Michigan games. In fact, that 1st game against them was my first hawk game when I was 10. Season tickets since 02. We sucked the 1st time, and dropped the ball (literally) the second time. I'll be a hawk fan through and through.
Yes, I believe that game was our "jazz" show featuring one of our jazz professors on trumpet. I think we played "A Mis Abuelos," "McArthur Park," and "Birdland"
Agreed, whoever said that has obviously never been to Kinnick. And of course Ohio State beat us, but they also embarrassed themselves and the entire midwest in that one game against Florida............
ISU fan, but i follow the Hawks pretty close when they aren't playing each other...Anyway, i always love it when the one tuba plays the fight song and everyone sings...it's so cool!!
Best Fight Songs are Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State and Penn State. Iowa would fall in the next tier, such as Northwestern and Illinois. Oom pah, Oom pah pah. But it does sound like heavan after so many beers.
For peak musicality, mobility, balance, and to allow for the best, most versatile drill, a marching band should always only be limited to 100-145 members....
@xcskierboy11 nope, NCAA regulation size football field. The stands are closer to the playing field so there isn't much sideline around the field, which makes the stadium so loud.
I love the pun on Iowa States stutus because they suck, however, they are a big 12 team and Iowa is the only game they prepare for. Kind of hard to beat a team that prepares for you year round.
really??? oh I was under the impression that all NCAA football fields are the same size..... buuuut I guess I could be wrong.. I think as wrong as I am about Kinnick being in the top 25 largest college football stadiums... I guess a SEATING capacity of over 70,858 isn't THAT big...
I wish that made sense, but it doesn't. I don't even know why you bothered replying; you shouldn't be insulting this guy in the first place. He puts a video up, and you complain about the field being too small? Unless the title of the video was "Biggest Football Field in the Whole Freakin' Universe", don't bother.
ur pre-game has like, 7 sets? I think my one in High School had 10, and the werent all nice little lines and easy diags to dress. my NCAA band pre-game show has 28, think we park and blow much?
Uh, you were commenting on his video, so he has the right to say something back to you. Plus, I don't believe you finished the fail of your insult..."your mom..."?
You know, instead of commenting on his video, go spam me or something. I don't care what you call me, or if "fucking" is the half of your vocabulary, but it's a waste of space trying to argue on the comments.
How do you get any musicality or technically difficult and visually appealing drill with 290 members?? All you get is a disgusting amount of volume and blaring! They can barely move 10 yards without bumping into someone else...
Yeah... i've never heard of a NCAA MB competition. I'm in the HMB and as far as i know, Iowa and the rest of the Big Ten's marching bands have never competed. I don't think any other conferences compete. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, and not to really defend ISU, but ISU does have a music department...(it's just not as good) ;)

I just joined the Hawkeye marching band, and I am glad to say it has been the best experience of my entire life.

wow their lines are super straight! i like how they spelled HAWKS then flipped it around

Love the HAWKS transition.
First :23 seconds; 'Finally, a band smaller than our high school one...' A few seconds later '...oh...'
Agreed, whoever said that has obviously never been to Kinnick. And of course Ohio State beat us, but they also embarrassed themselves and the entire midwest in that one game against Florida............
We are from I-o-wa, I-o-wa, that's were the tall corn grows, go Hawks!!!!!!!!
ISU fan, but i follow the Hawks pretty close when they aren't playing each other...Anyway, i always love it when the one tuba plays the fight song and everyone sings...it's so cool!!
And don't forget The Pride of the Southland Marching Band (Tennessee)!
I can't wait to be a part of the Hawkeye Marching Band. Ah, two years.

Christ the battery is a big as our highschool's marching band
UI marching band is one of the loudest sounds on earth!
Big Ten bands are the best!!! But I will say that the IU Marching Hundred has the most fun with regards to section hijinx and hilarity.
I'm not going to even dignify that with a comeback..

*vid starts* wait.. woah.. THAT'S their DRUMLINE?! that's like the size of entire frigging BAND!!!

Magnific

Right, that's what I'm saying. My comment was for bigpeen1, but I forgot to click "Reply" first.
@joepee24 Just looks smal because of how close the seats are to the field.
wow!!
the ISU band does NOT march the entire pregame in high step, I was just at Jack Trice. The HMB does, I march with them. Look up your info.
Hawkeye Marching Band Plays Minnesota Rouser (70 Subscribers Special)
go hawks..and thats all i gots 2 say 'bout that!!
Go Hawks!
Amazing marching..but really wish I could of heard them more :\ Guess thats the draw backs of a huge crowd.
im sure there was lots of alcohol involved in the stadiums lack of timing, you know we start at 7 a.m. for a 7 p.m. kickoff :)
I hate it when the crowd claps out of time.

and people wonder why the band plays to fast....the crowd dont know jack about timing
The Pride of Arizona.
look up the led zeppelin show if you want some proof, im not gettin it for ya.
...First alternative marching band in the world
@chrissycrazy4 yes, why yes it is.
You've got a point there, because Iowa has lost to Iowa State too many times. Is it hard to beat Western Michigan too?
Iowa's band puts ISU's band to shame. Let's be honest
... and the OSU band kicks Iowa's ass.
Iowa State has the grassy knoll, this is Iowa, we have seats...
joepee24 this comment aged well...
Ich möchte die Noten haben!!!!! *_______*

I have a dog
I find it interesting that your stadium makes many visiting fans sit on the grassy knoll. I'm not saying...I'm just saying.
haha, osu shut them up, fast
