... sorry - accidentally hit post too soon!
1) Did you think the voice-over was meant to be an Iowan speaking?
2) Did you think they said "man looking for a man" instead of "band looking for a band"?
3) The online video is difficult to make out so maybe there was something in the formations that I did not see.
4) maybe they strayed from the script ... which has been known to happen
One more point about the quality of their "music". Any Stanford student may join the band, no tryouts are required.
I happen to like the band. Most of the time. But yes, they can be painfully embarrassing.
THE SCRIPT
Farmer’s Only -- Halftime Show
A2: And now, back from breaking up with our rival band, it's the one, the only, the truly incomparable Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band!!!
A2: A1, It’s time for us to get serious about finding a new rival band.
A1: What?! But we agreed to give the UC Berkeley band another chance!
A2: It’s been two months, and it’s just not working. They always wanna do city things like rally at yacht clubs and play at Raiders games. We’re from the Farm! We need a band who knows how to shuck free range, organic corn and humanely tip heirloom cows!!!
A1: Well, why don’t we try this website I found? It’s called farmersonly.com!
Song: Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing
Formation: Arrow flying into a heart.
A1: Ok, here’s the farmersonly application.
A2: Geez. It’s a shame we’re breaking up. You think ya have a partner…
A1: A2! Focus!
A2: Ok, ok..Age, 53, Uh...woman looking for a man, here we go band looking for a band!
A1: Great. Let’s pick a photo. Hmm...what shows our quirky but cute personality best?
A2: What about this one with hay bales?
A1: But there are other bands in that picture! What if they think we’re in a relationship?! Let’s just take a selfie.
A1: Alright! Hey band put yer best boot forward and smile for the camera!
Song: Down To The Nightclub
Formation: Smiley Face wearing a ten gallon hat
A1: Ouch! That was a terrible picture! No one’s gonna like us now!
A2: Come on, A1! Someone will find us attractive!
A1: Sure when pigs fly!
A2: Hey! We got a match! Age, 43, Location, Pasadena, CA (from Iowa originally), distance, about ten yards, seeking a longterm relationship, marching type is traditional but fun!
A1: But what makes them special?
A2: Hold your horses, A1! They like making loud sounds in cornfields, hamming it up with bad pork puns and are also frustrated with their rival band! And they were on the Bachelor last year!
Formation: Flying pig
Song: Animal into the Farmer’s Only Jingle
A1: Sooo, when’s our date?
A2: Looks like they wanna meet us in the closest corn maze. Hmmm… where would that be?
A1: Uh, try the Central Valley?
A2: Hang on, they’re typing… They say it’s at the Rose Bowl, but that doesn’t make sense…
A1: Wait! Look at the field!
A2: Awww, that’s cute! They brought the corn maze to us! Uh, it definitely isn’t GMO, right?
Song: You’re Gonna Go Far Kid
Formation: Corn maze
A1: Well that was fun! Join us next time when we realize that Farmersonly has done more for the food security of this country than any agricultural subsidy in the past century!
You've been watching the one, the only, the truly incomparable Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band!!!
