The universal instant side eye judgement of band people. If you're not supposed to be there, you WILL be glared at. If you belong, you will be ignored.
If you ever get the chance to go to a Bama home game get there early . Walk the commons not just for the tailgating but watching the band do warm ups is sections is a show by itself .
The Million Dollar Band indelibly marked the University into my soul in 1975 when I opened my window at Tutwiler and heard them practicing the fight song!
Best team in 21 was Bama, Injuries prevented them from claiming the National Championship but everyone remembers what healthy Bama did to Georgia in this game and it wasn't even close. Congrats to Georgia on winning the right game. I 'd be upset if I didn't have 9 other championships in my time on Earth to keep me grounded in my love of Alabama Football.
FACT I noticed that the Cameraman during the SEC Championship kept panning back to the Bama Dance Team constantly..... And who could blame him......Give the cameraman a raise.
When u go to a high school in the state of California that was more known for the band than the football team ( Alexander Hamilton high school in Los Angeles California )
Thank you for this, we sit in U3C at home games and love the MDB. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to sit with them and this is pretty close.Roll Tide!
So glad I marched in an HBCU band. I would have fell asleep playing this music or threw up. Pick one. I marched in the latter half of the 70s and Black Super Music groups of Funk then Nee Jack Swing dominated. Trumpets play no Octaves or volume. This music makes me feel like going to the Circus and I never bring my ax to a circus
Thank you! I love the marching bands that we NEVER get to see at the game. I think that is probably because of advertising and the bs that comes from the mouths of the hosts for the game. Take credit CBS because I watch on your network.
No band members were concussed after the rammer jammer chant ( coming from someone who has family from Alabama , Georgia , Louisiana and Texas but lives in California
Okay what I liked was that Million Dollar Band brought significant numbers,**** ton of cheerleaders and majorettes, the Green Day song was sweet. Big thumbs up. What I didn’t like was “hey bulldogs we just beat the hell out of you…” You know some day Saban might retire and the empire might crumble for a decade. Also fight song could be more inspiring like the Big Ten bands. Conclusion, you guys are officially better than Southern Cal and Oklahoma who keep playing the same songs over and over. Have fun in the CFP y’all.
I personally think the fight song is very inspiring and besides Michigan's fight song most Big Ten fight songs are bland and they all sound similar. The Rammer Jammer cheer has been around for several decades, well before Saban. I believe it was in the 80s that it was played before the game... "Hey bulldogs we are gonna beat the hell out of you" as well as after the game. To play it before the game takes some confidence that you are going to win. Years before that during the 60s and 70s part of the cheer, "Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer, Give 'em hell Alabama' was a cheer by itself. The other part was added in the early 80s.
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has been played after every Alabama victory since 1972 . Once the administration tried to ban the chant because it had the word " Hell " in it . The students stood up and 98% supported it . We tell people that if you don't want to hear it then win the game and it will not be played . It's as much a tradition as Miss. State and their cowbells .
@@graciel2313 My daughter was in the Michigan Marching Band and I agree with you. Notre Dame also has a great fight song. This was my first time watching Alabama Band and I love their enthusiasm. I think they sounded great! If we can beat Georgia will see you in the Championship game. Take it easy on us and enjoy our Band.
Hi Char! Thanks for watching. My daughter is in the Mellophone section at UA and loves it! Hammering Down is a great channel. Take a look at Nick Golden's channel for more MDB vlogging: th-cam.com/users/NickGolden
There's always one or two black cheerleaders to keep things fair and during the live games you never see them when the cameras cut to the cheersquad because airtime is reserved for the other cheerleaders (-:
Oh No a University whose student body is majority White having cheerleaders who are mostly White, How Offensive?! Would it make you feel better if they zoomed in on the few non-white cheerleaders instead of showing all of the cheerleaders and the band?
@@kodylanghamIt would make me feel if they treated it like they do all other ativities ... Oh my god, a university that is mostly white having a football and basketball program that is mostly black ... based on your logic ... who would have ever imagined such a thing? If you know anything about cheerleaeding at all, you wouldn't have made such an uninformed comment
@@contactpq 1. Do elaborate on what you mean by "treated it like they do the rest of the activities". 2. I didn't even bring up the sports teams because I'm able to realize that even though the majority of the students at that University are white that the majority of the best basketball and football players would be black. Is it really that hard to imagine that the majority of the best cheerleaders would be white, and if we're being accurate here that was actually the drill team that was sitting in front of the band.
this looks like a trip back in time to the fifties before civil rights. not one black cheerleader. only 4 or 5 black musicians in a state with 30% black population.
Something is wrong with you if that is the only thing you got out of this video . Most of the 30% you are talking about would rather go to an all black college and join that band . Check out the Alabama A & M and the Alabama State band video's and count the white band members . Those bands are awesome by the way .
Alabama sports teams/band are NOT OPERATED ON A QUOTA SYSTEM: All qualified persons are accepted--and, it starts with the Bryce Young, quarterback, a wonderful Negro young man from California who came to T Town to play his football. The Bama band recently marched in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC--and, gracious and wonderful comments were heard by parade goers and the millions who watched the band on television. All of Alabama, indeed, the South was very proud of the Bama band who represented us with such excellence, pride, and, superb performance at the famous parade on Thanksgiving Day. Gooday mba, you need to get away from such a negative view of looking for things that do not exist, Shucks, come on down to T Town and we will great you to some great Southern cooking! Roll Tide!
I love this. My daughter plays tenor saxophone and it makes me so proud to see her playing in this. Thank you
I play tenor sax also and I’m trying out in april

I bet you are proud I would be if it was my daughter ROLL TIDE ROLL

lots of work but no big contracts for these deserving ladies and gentlemen.
These performance puts so much pressure on Alabama football players to win.
I have respect for the blond dude with glasses playing cymbals, he was really getting into it!! that’s the crimson tide spirit!!
Roll Tide!!! Love the Bama Million Dollar Band!!!
Fantastic upload. MDB makes the gameday experience! This is the first time I've experienced the middle of it.

does any major college band have as much fun as Bama's MDB?
is the group of girls at 11:15 with silver poms cheer or dance or color guard or something? they are so cute!!
Color guard: bands.ua.edu/mdb-about/colorguard/
What is he name of the song at the 8:20 mark? Thanks! 🙏🏾
“Astronaut in the Ocean” by Masked Wolf
Rammer Jammer should be done a max of three times. They are driving it in the ground playing it 5-6 times. The impact is gone.
How did you get the title of Million Dollar Band?🤷♀️
How big is this band?
Hi! There are 400 members: bands.ua.edu/mdb-about/
What do call the 7:54 part?????
“Roll tide cheer”
What is the name of the song they are playing
Roll Tide!!!
😍😍😎
Anyone know last song?
they will go down someday.
Sure, keep hoping for that to happen.
I went to the wrong college
What song is at 8:25?
I want to say it’s “Astronaut in the Ocean” by Masked Wolf. It made me laugh since it became a meme for a little bit
kept it together until the alma mater...
Girl what is this lol. They not bored?
Hbcu's do it better in my personal opinion same with dancers, twirlers aren't being synchronized, they need more discipline.
Yy6f

Why do they sit and play. It's marching band. So boring. These kids look bored.
More like $10 band.
