First home game vs. Framingham. This week's show brought to you by the
number 3.14159265358979323846264338327

The might of our straight line is such that the referees dare not gaze
directly at the band.
This slice of awesomeness was brought to you courtesy of drum major Ken
Takusagawa (seen here with his arms braced in front of his face, lest
he be deafened by the sound of his very band)
|
|
Letting the crowd take a breather from cheering us on (those capes
don't adjust themselves, you know)
|
|
The sun itself has hidden behind the clouds for protection from the
One, the Only, MIT Marching Band's stupefying wall (or in this case, T)
of sound.
|
|
Being reprimanded for just being so damn good, and subsequently
stuffing our faces (or, for some of us, at the same time) with cookies.
|
|
The cookies: before devouring.
|
|
The cookies consumed with extreme prejudice, the band is on the lookout
for more things to devour. Or perhaps the football team is doing
something interesting? Naaah...
|
|
Hellooooo cheerleaders!
*Insert your very own snarky comment here.*
|
|
At the Alston-Brighton Parade
Despite our smiling faces, rest assured that we were prepared to
trample any small children and cute animals that dared to wander in our
path.
That's how hardcore we are.
|
|
Look at those perfect lines.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, those smiles are because we DID
trample a small child.
No, really, we did.
If you don't believe us, we'll trample you.
|
|
Aww, it's like one big, happy family.
Except we're MUCH less creepy than the other families that dress in
matching uniforms...and capes.
And in case you're wondering, that is a unicycle.
|
|
We are Darkness We are the Night.
We are...THE MIT MARCHINGBAND!!!!!
Well, all of us except Michael (the only one not in stealth mode)
He's Alfred.
|
|
What you don't see is how HARD it was to stay like that while
waiting for the picture to be taken
Those aren't smiles, those are pained grimaces...
:(
|
|
I now present the MITMB Equation of Bad@#$ness
Unicycle + Marching Band =
Major Bad@#$ery
No proof is needed, as this is inherently obvious.
|
|
Presenting:
"A Day at the Beach"
The pre-show briefing, during which Michael delivers an inspiring
speech.
Be not fooled by our casual beach-wear. Clothing only waters down the
experience.
|
|
Sun. Sand. Football.
Scantily clad marching band.
What else do you need?
|
|
The trumpet section takin a well-earned break.
After all, it's no cakewalk being so damned good.
|
|
The stupefying finale.
Is that a look of relief I see on your face?
Just be glad that this wasn't "A Day at the Nudist Beach" and we
weren't the MIT Obese Marching Band.
And no snarky comments.
|
|
Halloween, MIT Marching Band style.
|
|
Dressed to impress (and frighten).
Jackie's going as Satanic Saxophone Player. Note red eyes of EVIL.
|
|
*Wink*
|
|
Now I bet you're wondering, who's that lady in the picture with the
MITMB?
That's Susan Hockfield, the President...of MIT.
But really, the picture's all about US.
|
|
I'm just gonna sit back, and let you revel in us.
That's right, soak it in.
There's nothing I could say that would make this moment sweeter.

|
Here we are, spreading holiday cheer.
Ignore the Scrooge walking right by us.
He’ll get what’s coming to him.
|
|
And now we present for your viewing
pleasure, the Clarinets of the MIT Marching Band.
And if you’re wondering, that IS a penguin
on Katie’s head.
|
|
Here we are, in front of the statue of
Samuel, a patriot with a knack for organizing.
|
|
Our Shiny Tuba.
Awesome.
|
|
Our very own Drummer Boy.
Rum pum pum pum pum.
