anybody else have any faves or can think of any I missed
Alright I've been lurking but I need to comment down the list of many of these songs from my time in the band and what happened to the majority of them:
Sing Sing Sing- Came back as part of a show last year then burried again in the flip books
Jungle Boogie- My first year we did this as a field show then it ran for about 2 years as one of our set songs, always a fun one
Mack the Knife - gone before my time
Blues Brothers - gone before my time
Pulling Mussels from A Shell - before my time
Get Ready for This - We (the saxes) used to have a whole routine for this with yelling rutgers related chants during this, I miss it terribly as we would usually play this as the last song with about 4 minutes left before tip off.
Zoot Suit Riot - Still in the book I believe but a much different version due to it being rewritten for a field show.
Final Countdown -
I miss it so much :cry: we were told that the fans were complaining that they heard it too much and wanted something different.
You Can Call Me Al - Same thing as final countdown, we played it too much and the fans didn't like it any more
Hey Baby - Tubas would try to get this back in the rotation but they were never strong enough to do it.
Peanuts Theme Song - gone before my time
Carry on My Wayward Song - quietly went away about 3 years ago around the same time as a lot of these songs
25 or 6 to 4 - gone before my time
Make Me Shine - gone before my time
that Gary Glitter song - not sure but I'll assume before my time
Crazy Train - Still in there one of my favorites I think it comes around every so often
The Stroke - Gone before my time
Cum on Feel the Noize - made a few appearances in the book but never caught on
We're Not Going to Take It - same as prior
Talk to Me - I could spend hours on this one, came back my senior year during a field show and the saxes loved it. One of my favorite songs to play that didn't have a set routine
Down on the Corner - Still in the book but dissappeared for the most part
Brass Roots- gone before my time
Green Onions- gone before my time
One More Time Frankie and Johnny- gone before my time
Land of a Thousand Dances- still in the book and survived the purge of many other songs
Louie Louie - gone before my time, but i did play it in high school and it was one of my favorite songs back then
Eye of the Tiger- was in a field show my junior year but didn't last long was gone after one season.
Devil with a Blue Dress- gone before my time
Videos from when we were up at Uconn for the women's tournament a while ago with many old songs.
The purge happened right around when we left the Big East for the AAC and then further when we entered the Big Ten, Shifting our song selection to much more modern songs. As for playing time with the new scoreboard we had gotten set times we were supposed to play even with the old one, but it was one of those things where they would give a quick advertisement and then say oh we have 30 seconds, band play something. Now we lose those opportunities. We also used to play 4-5 songs before the games starting half an hour out and ending with Raindance into Colonel Rutgers to the buzzer. That was always a fun thing yelling "Hey 'Opposing team name(usually a slightly insulting version)' THIS IS ARE HOUSE" then straight into Raindance. That and heckling the other teams players from the moment we could see them out of the locker room all the way to the floor. Got flipped off a fair number of times doing that.
