S17 E1 - Two Band Nerds Do a Podcast

We are back for a new season, and this time, we kick it off with six trivia questions all about marching bands, because we actually met each other in our college marching band, like the big old nerds that we are. We also talk European history, movies, and of course, college football! 1:59: Q1 (Sports & Games): One of the most legendary moments in college football history is “The Play”, in which announcer Joe Starkey famously exclaimed that “the band is out on the field!” What band was out on the field? 9:47: Q2 (Arts & Literature): In 2015, the Michigan State Spartan Marching Band performed a field show inspired by what work by Sun Tzu? 15:46: Q3 (Times & Places): The oldest formal military marching bands in the world were made up of Janissaries, the elite soldiers of what now-defunct empire? 23:49: Q4 (Movies & TV): The most famous marching band reference in a raunchy comedy was probably the parade scene from Animal House, until Alyson Hannigan said something utterly filthy in what 1999 movie? 31:39: Q5 (Everything Else): The first pictorial formation in the history of American marching bands was a block “P” formed by the All-American Marching Band, of what university located in West Lafayette, Indiana? 35:46: Q6 (Music): What band’s most successful song has a music video featuring Gerard Way and company in old-fashioned marching band uniforms?
