It also helped that OSU won, as my dad is an alumnus, and I was there with him. We were sitting where the two different sets of fans meshed with each other... fights almost broke out, since there were a couple of controversial calls (one went in OSU's favor, the other went in ASU's favor). When working at the park, we always expected the bands during this week - a week that was already the busiest all year.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I hope they enjoy their day in the park. I've done it the last 3 years, and it's definately a highlight of the week, since you have some time to just relax and have fun. Play for 30 minutes, and then get to have fun in the park for 6 or so hours. Not a bad deal, considering all the other work they have to do to get ready for the game and parade.
