Kansas' Band Can Sing
KANSAS CITY, Mo., -- The Marching Jayhawks sing remarkably well.
The bandies circled in the tunnel about 40 minutes before Texas and Kansas tip for the Big 12 title game and did a stirring rendition of "Hog Calling Time in Nebraska."
I'm not one to get impressed by bands, but I know enough about singing to take note. Now only were they on pitch and on key and all that rot, they threw in a bit of harmony.
There's only about 30 of them here, so it was something of an ensemble performance, which made the sheer volume of it pretty impressive (of course, the acoustics of the Sprint Center's underbelly helped).
If you want an example of what I'm talking about, check this out.
But seeing the small bunch do it live was more impressive.
Catchy tune.
