A tradition! these are students from Yale Music School who perform at half time in a comic routine of confusion, marching the wrong way and playing off key. It is a spoof on All those Big 10 bands that play at half time with their well rehearsed (and wonderful) performances. I think that's a little disrespectful of those bands who really are good, but that's Yalie silliness.
