It's kinda ridiculous for me to think of over 2 Marching Illinis on the field at once haha |

Holy crepes. I can't even see whats happening on the field in the video. It's just like a pulsating mass of blue and white. I think it would be bizarre to have people you've never seen before crop up in band every day... |

This is the closest I have ever seen to it. http://web.mac.com/darrindavis/Broken_Arrow_Bands/Tradition.html They are actually up over 450 total this year. |
