This is called playing in Concert. The best real sound in open air I have ever seen. Illinois is a crowded house and this concert makes the air real. Hail Illinois, Brian K
OMFG! Yet another fact of the sexism of 20th Century America before 1970. I didn't know that. Women also could not get a credit card in their own name. And this is the patriarchy Republicans want to take us back to.
This is definitely not from the 60s, but I struggle to see any girls in the MI. The haircuts look like the 80s and the block I logo is either pre-round Chief Head, which was in the 90s, or post, say 2010 or later. The poster said he thinks it is from 2012.
Band Director: BAND TEN HUT! Band: *HO* Band Director: WHOS GOT THE BEST BAND IN THE LAND!!?? Band: *ILLINOIS* Band Director: *BAND DISMISSED!!!* . Band: *UNGAWA*
@Cole Ludwig My senior year was the last time we saw Chief and the feeling was that the University pushed the ban sooner due to the basketball team's mediocre success that season as they were speculated to go to the NIT and host a home game. Since the NCAA did not allow schools with a Native American mascot to host NCAA events, the ban went into effect quickly so that U of I could capitalize on the dollars that would come in as a host school. Team ended up making the NCAA Tourney so it was a waste. Not a 100% certainty but many of my classes discussed this as well as being a hot topic in the student body.
@@tdahl824 One of the big errors that was perpetuated and never adequately corrected was beginning to call Chief Illiniwek a "mascot." He was NEVER a "mascot." He was ALWAYS a "symbol."
I wasn't around for this, but for concerts like this, we usually perform all of the halftime shows that we did over the previous year as well as traditional tunes. Some people probably just forgot to remove their flip folders from when they were performing halftime shows.
Not bad, but not nearly as good as the old war chant. As a Penn state, Illinois brought their band a few years ago, (I think) and on 34d downs the the war chant echoing through beaver stadium was eerie and rich with tradition. Such a shame the "re-brand" of Illinois as has essentially coincided with the bottoming out of the Fighting Illini athletic programs.
Well, it was sad that this marching band had to deal with the dismantling of the often-racist mascot known as Illiniwek. Remember in past years when the Chief did a freeze of motion on "Hail to the Orange", and after that, he runs across the band hopping, leaping, doing wolf jumps and all that. But it is sad that for those who are pro-Chief that that mascot had to go, but this did not mean the end of the world-famous college marching band in the United States - which was the Marching Illini.
I bet the trombone player is related to the cameraman!!!
Great songs great video.. thanks for sharing!
Hey, as a Trombone player, I can't say I'm mad.

Thus is when only men could be in the band. It was still that way when I was student there in mid 60’s

Charles Smith - The chief was never a mascot. He was the proud symbol of the university. He only came out during the three in one.
@@ItIsJustJudy So right. Thank You.
CHIEEEEEEF----er, no.
So dumb.
"So dumb."
Let me guess, you're so relieved that the Chief has been retired. Your kind are strange bunch: you tend to react quite similarly.
LandInbetween and they tend to all be white.....
It's dumb that they got rid of him.
The Chief? Chief is based on tryouts, so whoever shows up shows up.
Bring back the Chief!
Mark Olson Absolutely. For Sure. Never too late to correct such a historic error.
YES I AGREE WITH YOU I-L-L
