Dude why isn’t the crowd exploding and why isn’t this viral
Exactly! I would have gone nuts! 🤣
Right!!!
I bet that if they knew that this would be the crowd's reaction, they wouldn't have bothered.
Because they not geeks
They probably dont know GOT
The coordination and timing it took to pull this off. So frickin' cool!
lots and lots of practice.
It's easier than you think.
Jack O' Lantern I know!! I’m mind blown right now! So amazing GO BLUE!!
@Yowatsapp 05 That's what made it fun, and when you enjoy something you can make it fun for everyone else. Running up and down those stadium stairs and pushing your section to be the best. We had the ROTC Major do our camp, he made us work but it created a better team and the camaraderie amongst the band. I understand the heatbeing that I played sousaphone I understand the sun beaming down upon your face. But I guess to each his own.😉
The White Walkers' army of the undead had more life than the crowd.
*Thank you Ramin Djawadi for the music!!!*
This was incredible. I feel like the crowd should be 10x as loud! One of the best soundtracks in the history of TV. Bet the band loved doing these songs.
I feel like the crowd weren't very lively. I would've been going mad!
Honestly it was cool, but it wasn't anything to go mad about. It's just game of thrones.
What??????!!!!!!!.....There is no such thing as "Just game of thrones"!!!!! I would have gone crazy if I were there. The work that had to go into coordinating those two bands. The work of a college marching band by itself is no joke......those two together is awesome!!! Well done!!!! I love it!! Is the crowd asleep or what?
Sometimes wheen you are taking in something you can be so mesmerized. You forget to yell
I was there! It was fun!
Maybe the team was losing?
Yet another example of how music can form amazing collaborations. This was an excellent concept that was executed brilliantly. Thank you for being great hosts to the Blue Band!
I love the GOT soundtrack!!! They did a great job.
Brittney P. Yeah
I agree
My soul removed itself from my body when they played Danaerys' theme 😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌
A dictator anthem in a stadium.... That make sense!
What time?
@@firexlight Starts at 6:29
. 🐉dracarys 🐲
Honestly same 😢
Great performance. But, how did they miss the chance to say, “Winter is coming”?
Because, "Winter is here."
It's Michigan, winter is always here
覃良峰 so true.
Aaaand it’s gone
Winter came in 1 episode
Man I cant even get my two kids to walk a straight line ... Seriously this was A M A Z I N G !!!
Tiffany Oliver hahahaaaaa you made my day
This was better than the 8th season
True....they killed GOT
@@winterbear8500 They gave you an ending you didn't expect, what do you want, the ending to be exactly how you want it?
@@devinschaar4499 A logical ending
@@zarzaparrilla67 hows it not logical?
@@treybirdo7223 Why the 3 eyed raven is the king? Who will be the next 3 eyed raven? Why there wasn't any single unsullied protecting their queen when Jon killed her? Why the lords of the great houses agree that a Stark would be the king and the North would be independent? Why the unsullied and the dothrakis leave Westeros peacefully after destroying KL and their queen was killed? Why the dothrakis didn't follow their tradition and follow Jon after killing their Khaleesi? Why Grey Worm didn't try to fight Jon after killing Daenerys? Who will be the next king? Will be so easy to choose a leader after Bran or there would be another big unneccesary war? Why Tyrion isn't mention in the book when he was a very important man in all the years who followed King Robert's death?
It is not a logical ending because it leaves more questions than answers
Wow, they sound incredible! What an excellent performance! Glad youtube randomly recommended this to me.
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING WINDS OF WINTER
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind to the Blue Band. You are truly a class act and this had to of been my favorite halftime show of all time!
TBE amount of time and practice it took to pull this off is truly outstanding
IF RAINS OF CASTAMERE PLAYED IN PUBLIC I WOULD BE LEAVING IN FEAR THANK U VERY MUCH 😂😂 all joking side, cool video!!
I feel ya 😂 ..red wedding kinda stuff
My mom is a professional cellist who often plays weddings. She was literally aked to play Rains of Castamere for a wedding one time. When I showed her the scene it was from after her gig, she was mortified that someone would have her play such a piece for a wedding.
@@WillCMay Well, technically it's the song of their house. The two houses were at war, so that's why hearing the song of the opposing house was so ommonous. It is honestly a great song, and they survive for quite awhile.
Personally, if I went that direction I'd want multiple house songs.. but I have the hindsight of knowing about Jenny of Oldstones. That's just beautiful music.
cetkat Because of the Red Wedding I'd never choose Reins of Castamere. Unless my political enemies were going to be there and I had organised the whole thing as a trap.
@@WillCMay Fair enough. It is certainly not usual.
Dude. That was insanely good. If only if they could have followed that up with a fly over with all 3 dragons. 😂
This is amazing that they combined the bands! Where I am from, we never had any rivalry, nothing but love between the home and away bands, but just the logistics! Just wow! I love it. ❤️
Whoever arranged these songs did an amazing job
Rarely am I impressed with marching bands, but these guys and gals were AMAZING!!!!!
🤔👣🎩🕳👥🗣🕵
You really should check out Ohio State's marching band - they don't call them The Best Damn Band In The Land for nothing! (aka TBDBITL)
I loved that they played the music of each houses.
Ooooooooh the formation of Drogon , crown and sword on the field..., this is so nice 👍🏽!!!
*So......... How many centuries did they spend rehearsing this?*
Doing some maths, like 0,005 centuries
One "Long Night"
2 weeks for Michigan bc of the bye week, one week for PSU
@@topherbagley you could tell Michigan had more time to prepare. Their lines were straighter and formations were tighter. But both bands did an awesome job!
Sinds and during the long night😝
I am amaze by the creativity and the performance of the Michigan Marching Band it Was perfect. Great Job guys.
The DRAGON starts to take shape at the 5:24 mark.
I got to see this performance live at the Peach Bowl it was so amazing
Yep.. they ended it with Danny’s theme. So amazing band!
TheMarijule what time was it?
Liz Bee its on 6:28 particularly in 7:03
This is amazing! Cant believe I just found this... im saving this.... awesome job band members!!
Daenerys' theme was dope!
I have watched this 3 times & STILL cannot comprehend how so many people, without the aid of ground markers, can perform such intricate moves & maintain perfect outlines & alignments. They must have worked so hard to achieve their remarkable results. "Well done" to everyone who was involved.
I am not au fait with designs related to the TV show Game Of Thrones, but it really doesn't matter. The end result is everything.
Deadpan reading of The Rains of Castamere is hilarious.
Miracle Eskimo Battleship EXACTLY!!! “....without a soul to hear😕”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! I chuckled at that too
I love this!!! Thank you to the people behind the scenes and to those on the field that worked hard on this performance.
Brilliant work! I love the formations, WOW!!! Hands down sick!!! Love it!
Nice to hear Mhysa at the end, it's like being there, in the crowd cheering for Dany!
As always the Daenerys theme always made me teary eyed... what a great performance!
This Was Beautiful! Reminded Me Of My Time In Band Back In HS😭😭😭 Those Were Some Great And Best Of The Times! This Was An Amazing Performance!
I'm relieved that half the people didn't start killing other half when Rains of Castamere started playing.
Intro
Rains Of Castamere
Light Of The Seven
Spoils Of War
Winds Of Winter
All my favorite, I listen to the music daily. Y’all did a phenomenal job
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
LONG MAY YOU REIGN
And my son will see you in 10 years
Lol
What a great show! I don't know how you learn those new formations so quickly!
Especially 2 bands to plan it without being near each other...
@@patricksnavely7506 They probably rehearsed their own parts of the drill independently, then did a dress rehearsal or two together before the game. It's impressive!
These band performances are the only time it's beneficial to sit in the nosebleed seats.
That was a pretty spectacular unification of talent.
What a stellar performance! I’m a former HS “band nerd” and a GoT fan, (except season 8,) and I had goosebumps through the whole thing. Wow!
This was great! Love the team work
I drink and I know things. This was truly amazing. Congrats to all of these band members, directors, and fans.
Now THAT was awesome!! Congratulations to both bands!! 😊
Wow wow wow, that was absolutely fabulous. I love it!!! That is so amazing and very accurate. Blown away!
That was freakin AWESOME. I was a Drum Majorette I'm all about that Marching band life. But an Ode to GoT???!! Yessssss❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
I imagine if there were alot of GoT fans in the band this must have been so freaking cool to learn/play!!
rad job all! you nailed it! footwork and music. extraordinary work!
The GOT cast must watch this!
I'm gobsmacked at the work involved to do that!
This should be the super bowl half time. Not the crap they have now.
The crowd finally perked up a bit when they made the dragon formation! Gosh I’d be on my feet screaming and dancing!
Awesome! Lot's of time and hard work. Great job! 👍🏻
being somewhat involved with high school marching band i find the logistics of getting two separate bands to coordinate such a combined performance INCREDIBLE.
So much effort!!! It better than the final episode 😂😭😭😭😭
Best halftime I've ever seen. Great job from everyone involved! Thank you 🐉
I get chills hearing The Winds of Winters everytime i hear it 😂😂😂
This is awesome! What a huge undertaking for everyone involved! I love that the flags got their own solos as well (being a former flag girl). This was more satisfying than the series finale!
That was freaking awesome
This is wonderful to see two such powerful bands unite! BRAVO! BRAVO!
Jesus, this was amazing
I was part of a Boys's Brigade Marching brass band, the formation and practice takes hundreds of hours, Kudos!
OMG that low brass in the opener
“The Michigan Marching band and the Penn State Marching Blue Band are making an alliance”
Ohio State: Winter is coming
I would of lost my shit.... damn crowd is a let down... amazing this needs to go more virual..
@Joe Based Oakman lmao no one cares 😂
This is awesome
lookatmycakes - that goes both ways.
you lads are acting like this is a proper energized DCI finals crowd not a bunch of drunk ass football fans whove never heard of game of thrones except pictures of emelia clark's ''''''dragons'''''
Adrian da best every single college student in America has heard of Game of Thrones and found a way to pirate the episodes if they couldn’t afford HBO Now or had the TV channel. Don’t act like it’s a nerd culture phenomenon only a select group in society know of and love. Literally everyone in America, hell, Europe as well, knows the show. Everyone. There’s no way a giant crowd in Michigan who showed up to cheer for their college team don’t know GOT and can’t appreciate it. There’s a reason the bands picked that music; it was such a pop culture star at the time. I can only imagine how many papers were being submitted in colleges using Game of Thrones as a backdrop or thesis in some way.
Wow..It's great..What a synchronization...How much they have practiced for this...Hats off to them
Wonderful performance! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Oh gawd. That was sooo fantastic! Wish I had seen this in person!
What an awful crowd 😕
Tharindu Lakshan Kumara I cheered louder than all of them inside my house alone 😂
Lol yea they dont know how to recognize musical talent
Joe Based Oakman nah we were their as a band and we was sleeping😂
@Joe Based Oakman that's rugby
I was at the game. They don't mic the crowd so it's had to hear the reaction. But also, it was halftime, and usually people sit and rest before the game restarts.
That was amazing! I'm a Game of Thrones fan and I know this must have taken hours and hours of practice. Simply Beautiful!!
This is a very exciting collaboration.
Big salute from morocco 👍🏻 that'a a wonderful work done by magnificient artists 👏🏻👏🏻
Impressive to bring two large bands together with such precision with little combined practice. Kudos! Well done!
Wonderful performance thanks all
Amazing job. Very creative. Must be a monumental task to work together for both band.
Retention in the stands was wonderful. Flags were stellar! Music was awesome. Nice joint effort. Hard work showed! Fight On ✌ TMB Alumni member.
Very cool Michigan! From Chicago
UA-cam recommended this to me. Better late than never. Great collaboration!
What great collaboration. I would love to know how the idea came about and how it was implemented.
Ваааау! Очень красиво! Повезло тому, кто присутствовал там и ощутил в живую эту атмосферу! Мурашки по коже! Безупречно! Браво!
Perfect!!
The most underappreciated part of the games. These people work their asses off.
I would’ve went freaking insane😂😂 screaming louder than everyone in that stadium put together😂
This is so cool...great how both bands were merged to pull this off...
I'm an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, but I just gotta say this is very kick-ass!!!
This crowd was horrible... do you know how hard they worked to pull this off? Thank you Michigan State & Penn State Blue Bands! What a stellar performance!❤
Absolutely awesome
oh i realized something!!! cersei said, "when you play the game of thrones you win or yo die. there is no middle ground." even tho daenarys didn't like the decisions she made she still believed they were decisions that were necessary. she was basically applying the same unspoken rule that cersei and all who ruled before her in order to create her new world.. but in doing so she herself became victim to the very same "wheel" she intended to break. jon delivered the blow that killed her but tyrion is the one who broke the wheel. he suggested that the high houses be able to choose who their king or ruler shud be instead of it being a birth right. also cersei stated that there was no middle ground. jon and tyrion created a middle ground. they both betrayed their initial choice as ruler but both didnt die thus destroying the unspoken rule or "wheel" completely
This was awesome!! Fantastic band! Thx&see ya😁
Michigan is the Starks, Ohio State is the Lannisters, and Penn State is the Targaryens.
Crusader penn state are the Greyjoy’s
@@blazesantana1209 Michigan State are the Greyjoys, Rutgers are the Martells (because no one likes or cares about them), Wisconsin are the Tyrells, Minnesota are the Tullys, etc.
Hear us roar!
@@crusader7659 Who are the Boltons
The Ivy League schools are the iron bank of braavos
This performance was life changing, thank u
Amazing 🖤 the timing is perfect.
As a Big Ten Fan, this is awesome. It's amazing what 8 to 5 can do as a standard. Very Awesome!!!!
Nice dragon! Two great Universities!
this was amazing! Such hard work
I still can't hear Danys intro Without feelings
This was amazing to watch.
This had me chills
As an Ohio State fan....I have to say that this was awesome. Well done!
I WAS CLAPPING TIL MY HAND HURT IN MY LIVING ROOM!!!!!
Just remember! It doesn't matter how big the witcher series becomes. It will never leave an impact on world television as GAME OF THRONES
