University of Arizona Band Records Hyundai Commercial

You can’t evoke the feeling of a college football Saturday without a great marching band sound. Hyundai recently recorded the Pride of Arizona playing the Bay City Rollers “Saturday” for a national commercial spot celebrating hand signs in college football.

The band recorded at the University of Arizona’s stadium in Tucson and had only three hours to rehearse and record the track. View the commercial and a special behind-the-scenes video below.
