South Alabama Jaguar Marching Band - Half-time

Half-time

The Jaguar Marching Band performs three different half-time shows each season. The band marches a modern, corps style, with a focus on velocity (often marching in the 180-200 beats per minute range). Shows range across a wide variety of musical eras and styles. The band's first ever half-time show was a Led Zeppelin tribute, featuring nine different songs by that band. Other past shows include the jazz-rock music of Bill Chase, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and progressive and alternative rock such as Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rush. During the 2012 season, the band performed a Classical Music show, a "Tribute to the State of Alabama" production, and also a halftime show saluting the five branches of America's Armed Forces. The Jaguar Marching Band plays shows in alternating weeks first to the home side of the stadium and next to the opposite stands, home to the South Alabama student section. This is to ensure that both alumni and students experience the band, a tribute to the student body's initiative in bringing marching band and football to the University of South Alabama.
