We’re just one day in to all that is March Madness, and there’s already a great pep band video clip circling the web. While the Providence (Rhode Island) College Friars (9 seed) one-point win (70-69) over the University of Southern California (Los Angeles) Trojans (8 seed) provided plenty of action on the court, the real ones to watch were the entertaining pep bands.
To see what we mean, check out this video of USC Basketball Band member Chris Redfield dancing along to the “Cha Cha Slide,” backed up by his fellow trumpets, including Halftime Magazine’s own intern/writer Emily Moneymaker! There’s also a quick cut to PC Pep Band during the song’s famous “FREEZE!”
Dance off! #MarchMadness https://t.co/bvfuyLm3aZ
