Marching bands around the nation are all unique organizations, yet music is the single thing that binds them all together. This bond isn't just limited to what these musicians play on the field because, believe it or not, they are ordinary people too. In honor of Halloween, I've look up marching band's relationship to the holiday. The answer is quite simple: Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Whether you love the song or hate it, you have probably heard it a good number of times and know part of the dance. It also seems to be a favorite of many a marching band. The following videos are of select college marching bands who all decided to incorporate the song into their shows. You decide who gave the best performance.
University of Toledo [dancing starts at 4:40]
Penn State Blue Band
Michigan Marching Band [dancing at 1:30]
Minnesota Marching Band [dancing at 0:25]
Enjoy the holiday!
