The Blue Band hyping up a Penn State football meeting (and especially Marcus Allen) was one of the cooler videos from the Penn State community in August. The band’s viral performance prompted James Franklin himself to return the favor at a Blue Band practice.

Squad meeting made even better with the best in the biz. #camPSU A video posted by Penn State Football (@pennstatefball) on Aug 12, 2015 at 5:39pm PDT
