Million Dollar Band (marching Band) - Songs

Songs

• Yea Alabama - The University of Alabama fight song
• Rammer Jammer - Cheer played after a team victory
• Basket Case - Beginning in the mid 1997 the Million Dollar Band began playing the Green Day song "Basket Case" in the break between the 3rd and 4th quarters. This continued until mid way through the 2006 season, when the Marketing Department decided to play "Sweet Home Alabama" over the PA system instead. The MDB continued to play the song, just at different points of the game. "Sweet Home Alabama" was still played during 2007 up to the Houston game. Since that game the MDB has played "Basketcase" during the 4th quarter break once again. Fred Chang arranged this piece.
• Low Rider - Song played by the Trombone section in the fourth quarter of the football game. It is counted off with eight taps on a cow bell. It has been in existence since at least 1986, when it was recorded on an LP. Mark Foster wrote the arrangement from a similar version that was played at his high school. Bruce Chirrey was the first cow bell wielder.
• Defense Cheer # 1 - Since 2001, the band has used the song "Look Down" from the musical Les Misérables as the main defense cheer. This arrangement was originally written for the 1996 and 2001 Les Misérables halftime shows. The band currently has six defense cheers.
