Crazy train, 25 or 6 to 4, Louie, louie, I would LOVE for our band to play mario theme song. Someone arrange it for us, but our BD won't let us play it.

XD Gonna Fly now *Rocky's themem song* Crazy Train Pretty Fly Gone Daddy Gone Holiday Gimme Some Lovin' Hang on Sloopy And there's a couple more, but our new Pep Band Director (different from our normal band director) decided to get rid of all of the good ones.

We play Kernkraft 500 (sweetness!), Back in Black, and Song 2 (which only has the woodwind part of "woo hoo").

I personally wish we could play Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees There's this awesome website though that does stand tunes. www.standtunes.com/It looks pretty new because they have a lot of new songs. I bought one and it looks pretty awesome. I think I might do a custom one (*cough* Bee Gees)

CHOCOLATE RAIN! We got an arrangement of it because of some joke between BDs. xD
The caption says **I move away from the mic to breathe in, and in the composer section, it says "Original Song by Tay Zonday". He even wrote in a trumpet head turn to breathe.
Yeah...so it's out-of-date as far as memes go, but it's still cool!

Here's some of my favorites (with explanations as needed...) Ant's Marching (there's a silly little horn flash we do, it makes the whole song worth it) Boogie Down (Random trombone improv solo at the end, always fun) Carry On My Wayward Son (Gotta unleash the Star Power!) Centerfold (we get to "Whoop it Up" Everybody's Everything (just loud and fun) Funky Town (best horn flashes/choreography for any song) Hey Baby! (Hey what?) I Go To Rio (An oldy but a goody, only the 5th years even remember this song, let alone all of the horn flashes) I'm Just a Gigolo (Best vocals) Kiss Him Goodbye (Played at the end of an Illini Basketball victory) Livin' On a Prayer (we got the entire stadium to sing with us in 06, ever hear 60,000 people screaming Bon Jovi? Kind of cool) Promises (It's just a kind of happy song) Sell Out (Yes, we play Reel Big Fish) Shake A Tail Feather (just for fun) Take Me Out (Best bone part EVER) Volcano (we get to sing!) What Is Hip? (Tell me if you think you know) You, Me, and a Bottle Makes Three (Best ending ever) There's probably a couple more that I'm forgetting, I had my Orange and Blues band folder with me, (it's a mini band that does Volleyball games and VIP events like playing the Chancellor's house and such) so I just started flipping through it.

yeah, turns out that KU only plays their fight songs and show music at games. at least for football. i think the traditional pep band stuff is in the folders for basketball.

most everyone's favourite is LTR - Long Train Runnin'. we don't usually have any other good stand tunes. we play the usual - hey song, jump on it, eat 'em up...and some others. and then usually at the end of the quarter we play part of one of our festival show songs.

The Chicken Dance, of course!
We tried to convince our bd to make it our new fight song, but he said we would actually have to win football games for that to be appropriate. I guess it's out of the question, then.

One of our senior T-Bones made an arrangement of "Don't Stop Believin'" a few months ago, it's pretty cool. I like Pinball Wizard and Lion Sleeps Tonight. Our director arranges a lot of his own stuff too, thank God for Finale. He made the White Stripes song "7 Nation Army" and Linkin Park's "What I've Done". Our percussion section nearly had a coronary when they heard it.

We're supposed to be playing a few Black Eyed Peas songs next year. I think that should be interesting.

wow.. do we ALL have the same pep band folders? i play almost every song listed in here! And hate most of them by the end of the season. Since we hate them by the end the band tends to begin to make up their own songs.. this year included a new ditty - 7 Nation Army by the White Stripes and for Pep Band - Chain Hang Low... yah, we played chain hang low, yah, our BD and DM's wanted to KILL us, but the crowd loved it! but for regular pep band i gotta' pay homage to Iron Man, Hey Baby (tuba specialty) and Tequila! however, i hate 'You Can Call Me Al' with a passion... we play the SAME thing OVER and OVER in that song! OMFGGGGGG!!!!!! seven nation army!!! do you have the music written down and everything? do you think you could put it up here?
