Video game marching band

At the recent half-time show between California and Washington State, the UC Berkeley Marching Band teleported us back to the nostalgic days of 16-bit video games. The band performed several skits to the tune of Pong, Tetris, Mortal Kombat, Pokemon, Zelda, and Super Mario Bros.



The concept is not unique. The UC Davis Aggies and other marching bands have featured similar themes at their half-time shows. Although, it seems the Cal version was much more elaborate and challenging to execute. Both performances are still laudable for their creativity, humor, and choreography.
