If you are denied access on the first try, please come back to the site a short period later to try again. At halftime the Blue Thunder plans to perform Ghostbusters, Confident, & Uptown Funk with you, along with the Fight Song-Orange and Blue. We would like to perform each song but the quality of your performance must be excellent, as the Mane Line Dancers will perform to Ghostbusters with us. Halftime music should be memorized. The other music provided will be played during the Tailgate Parade and during the game; it does not need to be memorized, but be able to play it well. Color Guard: A video is or will be online very soon on our website to teach you the routine for Ghostbusters and Confident &/or Uptown Funk prior to your arrival.
