It must have been murder for the camera man not to want to turn around.

[Junkman]

Now there goes some disciplined musicians. That fight song ain't gonna play itself people!

[DarkAudit]

Not my band, not my school, not even my conference. But this never, EVER gets old. :D

[TheRisenSoldier]

The guy crying and falling to his knees makes the video.

ya know... i never thought about it before but i have found a whole new level of respect for band members. how the hell do you go from pure elation to playing music in 1/2 a second when every fiber of your body wants to storm the field and burn down a goal post? 

[scottmoore]

This video is so utterly fantastic there are no words. For those kids to have the discipline to stay focused and play in the midst of that emotion and chaos is incredible. They are providing the soundtrack to one of the greatest moments in sports history.

[NukkJames]

That was awesome.  Cheers to the drum major who got everyone in line for the fight song.  Considering the moment that's pretty impressive.

This one of the reasons college football is so much better than the pros IT HAS BANDS!

I am a Bama fan but congrats to Auburn. I still cant believe that play to this day. I am still speechless

[AVNguyen_Music]

As a member of the AUMB (tuba), it's really great to see this! I can promise you around half of us were playing and the other half screaming, for obvious reasons! WDE and War Damn Band!

[Alexandra-ibdp]

That one drum major, "MUST. STAY. ON. BEAT."

[joesmith]

The training kicks in, they do what they have to do. Play the song!!!

This is an all time great video.

If you didn't just get goosebumps, you're not human. 

[noahsharplin]

this is one of the greatest reactions in history

[markheggeland]

This is the happiest thing I've ever seen.

[lizwallace]

I see my son (clarinet player) the moment he realized they were going to win. A memory for a lifetime!

[chrisgoldschmidt]

It's fun to watch each of the players in the band as it dawns on them what is happening. My favorite is the flute player who is so excited that she stands up on the wall. Our Iron Bowl party pretty much was the same way. 

[milesball]

Professional - when, with every fiber of your body you want to join your classmates in storming the field ... and yet you stay to do your job as best you can!

[leecm]

I don't know how many times I've watched this video just to look at different people's reactions. I always find something different to laugh out loud at.

[Cohodes]

this video was amazing for so many reasons.. first.. who would have thought to video the band at this moment.. and the reaction to the play with the great historic radio call made it a video I actually cried with joy watching.. amazing video ..  could be as one of the comments below the best sports video of all time... so lucky to have watched it... the joy that comes through as the band starts to play their signature theme was super!
