Part III – 2016’s Top 10 moments that made us say WOW

The 2017 season is quickly approaching and today we’re taking a look at a few of our favorite moments from halftime/pregame performances of the 2016 season that wowed us on the field. These moments stood out to us as major highlights from last year and they have us drooling in anticipation for what bands will bring us this season. It’s now time to reveal the top three moments from 2016 shows.

3) Kansas State takes us to Chicago. There really aren’t enough adjectives to describe just how awesome this halftime show is. Literally from the first note to the last it is just straight face wrecking. POWER, POWER, POWER. The marching feature during the drumline feature is next level stuff. Just watch the full show and you’ll understand. Full show HERE

Here’s the closing sequence of the show. Listen to the crowd go nuts:

2) The Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountains absolutely went off in their 2016 show with probably the fiercest drumline feature we saw all season. Their show was titled “Whee See You” and honestly it was more like we definitely see and hear WCU! This band can flat out crush you. Watch their full show HERE

Here’s their insane drumline feature which put their drumline against a remix of Zedd and on field DJ. The marching by the rest of the band never stops and when everything comes back together….wow moment.
