Chants from the band

[Rabbuk]

I say we cut the band and fill it with super drunk people who are sponsored to show up super drunk and be rowdy

The band chants are lame and cheesy, but at least they are making noise. I suppose I'll take the poor effort over none at all.

People who don't like the band chants should go out and dig a hole. When you are done then fill that hole back up by digging another hole. When you are done with That then fill the hole you just got done digging by digging another hole. When you are done with that...

I liked that the band started playing Killing In The Name Of this year, bringing the total number of songs I've heard them play about killing police officers up to 2, lifetime.

...help them come up with decent chants?

I always like these threads. It becomes glaringly obvious which people have terrible taste and enjoy/tolerate the garbage also called the band chants.

 

[iahawkhunter]

i really dont like them

I was in the pep band & I actually hated all the chants. It felt embarrassing at times. But the other members would heckle you if you didn't participate because it was tradition. I would've preferred to just help the cheerleaders. It's THEIR job to lead chants.

I like the ones where they dont do anything

I hate those chants. They sound like some major nerds.

BAND SUCKS

This. Some of them are incredibly lame

im pretty sure i heard "my mom still wipes me" for one of the chants

My favorite pep band chant is

I once got told by a good friend, who was in the band, that half the people who go to ISU games, football and basketball, were only there to watch/listen to the band.

He was also being serious.

If by half, he means none, then, yes, half the people there are there to listen to the band

I enjoy listening to the band.. one of the reasons i sit on the band side in the student section. they just need to realize that their chants on free throws are dumb and immature.

 

[NATEizKING]

You are the reason they play the fight song. To motivate you to actually cheer for your team.

My buddy and I are usually the first on our feet when things are going well in our section, even when no one else gets up. I swear vs. OSU they played about 7 songs in one timeout and then didn't have anything else to play, so just played the fight song every timeout for the last 10 minutes of the game.

"Block that kick" was funny the first time I heard it. Anything after that I've been annoyed by.

Im willing to volunteer to be part of this group. My credentials are awe-inspiring and my references will surely agree im right for the job

 

[CyDude16]

None. Zilch. Nada.

Every band kid after each chant they do

Band is great, if you think nerds are in band then you obviously have zero intelligence. Yes I am a jazz drummer and was in band. I also played basketball and wasn't a dork. The ISU band is the most traditional and inspiring part of many football games....it surely isn't the football team most of the time. It's people like you (several people on this thread) who the athletic department caters to. I.E. When the football team runs out let's not let the band play, they can stand there while we blast 90s hip-hop most of the good white people of Iowa or "butt rock" from the 80s. Oh, and you know what's even more lame than the band????? MF Sweet Caroline. Neil Diamond sucks then, he sucks now and that song is the worst. We don't want to look like a bunch of lame white farm kids from the sticks, but when we win let's sing one of the worst pop songs ever recorded. Leave the band alone, and their chants too!

Even in a great win - the brain trust finds something to whimper about.

You can't be serious. There are 400 people in JTS who go to see the band...and 300+ of them are in the north endzone.
