This Too Shall Pass

For those of you who aren’t on Facebook, I’m posting this video that was brought to my attention by Milwaukee Dan #1. Thanks, buddy!

What is cool about this is that the marching band in the video is the Notre Dame band! They are the oldest continuously performing college band in the country, and always fun to watch at games. I thought it was really neat to see them in a video, and I really like the song, too! I can’t embed it, but click to see “This Too Shall Pass” by OKGo (aka the Treadmillaires). I love the players who are in the grass camouflage outfits. Like an environmentally correct Cousin Itt.

ND Marching Band video

Just a quick entry before I start cookout prep. I didn't get any football action pictures since I was a little too intent on the game, but I did get some of the band. You can see a handful on my YouTube channel.) The Notre Dame band is the oldest college band in continuous existence in the country, with the first reference to the band in 1846 (the university was founded in 1842). They're a lot of fun to watch, and here's a video after the game, when the players go over to the student section, the band plays the alma mater, and the students and players (and the alum in the Stadium) sing along. I'm not an alum, so I don't sing, but everyone yells the last line of the song, "Love you, Notre Dame!" and it chokes me up every time! Then they play the fight song, which is probably the most recognizable in the country.

For any non-Irish fans out there (sorry, David!) I hope I didn't make you throw up or anything.
