Super Mario Halftime: Marching Band Plays Music, Video Games
January 28, 2008
It’ll be a while before your school’s marching band takes the field again. And you’ll need every second if you want to design a show that can top this one: this past season, the University of California Marching Band staged a video game-themed extravaganza. I don’t want to sound like a geek or anything, but it’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
Relive those hours spent saving princesses and amassing points as you thrill to the sounds of classic video games. See if you can recognize all of them (and if you’re a nerd like me, you probably can).
It’s funny – the reason I joined my high school band in the first place was because my parents wanted me to stop playing so many video games. Seeing Cal’s video game show brings musicianship eerily full-circle. -BILL FERRIS
