U of Hawaii Marching Band Morphs into Giant Stick figure Kicking a Football for Half Time Show


This is outstanding stuff!

Kudos to the Rainbow Warriors marching band for coming up with this creative idea to juice up their fans.

The Daily Mail reports that after watching an enthusiastic group of musicians strut their stuff in Hawaii, the humble marching band may never be the same again.

A band from the
University of Hawaii put their heads together to devise a unique piece of mid-game entertainment during a recent home fixture, creating a YouTube instant classic in the process.

More than 100 members of the 250-strong Rainbow Warrior band took the field at the university's Aloha Stadium, and shunned the usual military-style formation in favour of a more novel approach.
Forming
a large stick figure stretching across the playing field, the members of the band then moved so that the figure appeared to run towards a waiting football and punt it out of the stadium.
Of course, all of this was done while the band members were playing their instruments - and they didn't miss a beat.

The choreographed moves were captured by a spectator and later posted on YouTube, where the stunt has been met with well-deserved praise.
