More Marching Band Nerds Who Own It
As previously discussed, as a marching band nerd myself, I have nothing but respect for other marching band nerds who just embrace their nerdiness wholeheartedly. Thus, mad props to the Penn State marching band, who performed the above routine at a football game against Eastern Illinois back in October. I really don’t want to describe it to you, because it’s much better if it’s a surprise, but suffice to say it’s some of the best marching band choreography I’ve ever seen, meaning it’s stupendously fucking nerdy. Enjoy. (Via Great White Snark)
