Cotton Bowl 1983

This video is of the SMU Mustang Band halftime performance at the Cotton Bowl (SMU vs. Pitt) on January 1, 1983. To make this fit in YouTube, I edited out the performances of the Pitt Band, Kilgore Rangerettes, and the combined band "Tribute to the USA". This copy has been edited to just show the Mustang Band. Some great closeups of active members of the alumni band as well as some old friends I haven't seen in a long time.








11-19-1983 SMU/Arkansas Post Game Performance

ABC didn't show us at halftime, but after the game (and monsoon) in Little Rock, the members of the Mustang Band were the only remaining souls in the stadium. Announcer Curt Gowdy is talking over us as we perform Shanty Town and acknowledges us as we sing Varsity.

SMU won the game 17-0.

SMU UT 1983 Halftime Show

I found a couple very old videos I converted from VHS to DVD and am posting online to share. Here's the first one - Halftime show from the SMU-UT game on 10/22/1983.

#2 Texas beat #9 SMU 15-12 at Texas Stadium. This was our first year without the Pony Express (Dickerson/James) but we still had a winning season. One of the last before the program was squashed by the NCAA Death Penalty.
