Unfortunately we hear the bands a little less these days than we used to, but what are some of your favorite marching band songs/chants in CFB? Some of my favorites:

FSU - Seminole Uprising
FSU - War Chant
USC - Fanfare & Tribute to Troy, Fight On & Conquest
Ohio State - Le Regiment (aka Script Ohio)
Notre Dame - Celtic Chant
Florida - Gator Bait Chant (RIP)
LSU - Pregame Salute
LSU - Drumline Cadences
Alabama - Yea Alabama
Wisconsin - On Wisconsin
Tennessee - Down the Field & Rocky Top
Illinois - War Chant
Oklahoma - OK Oklahoma
Also, I guess you can’t make this kind of list and leave off:
Michigan - The Victors
Notre Dame - Victory March

And finally, tGOAT (RIP):

Down the Field & Rocky Top


Thank you for including Down The Field

The V-O-L-S spell out before a big defensive third down in Neyland is always great.

The jaws sound leading into the Gators chomp thing while Tennessee is melting down in the Swamp is ingrained in my head at this point.

Chomp Gators

University of Missouri Band wins Limerick International Band Championship





Mizzou’s Fight Song incorporates “It's a Long Way to Tipperary” into it and the Irish love it. So much so, Marching Mizzou performs in Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day parade every year.

Just to mention a few underrated ones, Grambling really has a GREAT fight song. Catchy with nice arrangement.

I always enjoyed hearing ole miss band when we’d play in Oxford. Went to the egg bowl they hardly ever played. When states band would play, the loud speaker would play rap or club music.

Rivalry games to me are fun when the bands start dueling.

GA Tech has the best fight song in my opinion and their Budweiser tradition song is awesome

I've been playing Rakes of Mallow quite a bit these past few weeks. The slower Rudy version:

best version

IMO they play it too fast during games

LSU - Pregame Salute


One of the best pregame moments in cfb, I must admit.

I don’t think Illinois plays the war chant anymore. I was at the bowl game a couple weeks ago and never heard it

I always liked when Georgia plays Dies Irae when they are on defense


I love to hear South Carolina play Go Carolina

Go Carolina
