i just stumbled on this via reddit.com and its badass, so I thought I'd share for any folks here that haven't seen it.

I have seen the Leland Stanford Junior Memorial Band perform Bowie's 'Suffragette City', Green Day's 'Long View', and the Stones' 'Brown Sugar'.

Forgot to add...this RULZ!

LOL! Right on! The flute player in red was rocking out!

I never thought I'd say that about anyone but Ian Anderson!

Is there actually a string section in the BACK?

it does appear that they have a string section. I played bass in my high school marching band and we had a guitar player, but I've never seen a marching band with other strings before.

sounds like they were heavily influenced by the Apples version.

I'm pretty sure that there are at least two violins/violas back there, along with what looks like a Schecter Stiletto Custom bass.
