If you’ve ever been to a high school football game on a cold, fall-like Friday night, you know just how exciting that halftime show can be. It’s the perfect pick-me-up for a game that may not be going exactly as planned, and it’s the best way to get everyone perked up and cheering for the team during the second half. Marching bands have always been a halftime staple, but these bands are really starting to steal the show and show off new possibilities.
Below we have some of our favorite college marching band formations that have scored plenty of likes on YouTube and keep fans coming back for more.

University of Hawaii – Giant Football Player

With great formation and a swift kick, this creative and forward-thinking arrangement stands alone.
Bethune-Cookman University - President Barack Obama
