It’s finally here: Bedlam week.
This in-state rivalry may have originated on the wrestling mat, but the most visible matchup of the year will be on the gridiron Saturday between No. 3 OU and No. 11 OSU.
While the majority of the focus this week has been on the football teams, the marching bands are also ready to take the field.
According to band director Brian Britt, Oklahoma’s band is especially ready.
“We practice all year for this game,” said Britt. “It doesn’t matter whether we’re winning or losing in the game, we want to win the band, and the best way for us to do that is to play ‘Boomer Sooner’ at least 500 hundred times during the game.
