The University of South Carolina campus in Columbia was the scene of a lot of solar eclipse activities Monday.

The Gamecocks’ gameday theme, “2001,” played from within Williams-Brice Stadium at 2:41 p.m. as the eclipse reached totality, with the football team watching from high atop the venue.

The Carolina Band played “Total Eclipse of the Heart” just minutes earlier.

Here’s what things looked like during the big event:
