In the 1990s, Illini touchdowns at Memorial Stadium were celebrated by 5 to 6 inch aerial salutes - with the allusion of these aerial bombs to something like home run pyrotechnics at U.S. Cellular Field where the White Sox play. For the "Pirates" thing by the MI, the fireworks were much louder than the Illini touchdown fireworks....

Rarely does the Marching Illini use pyrotechnics in its presentations but because pirates' ships are equipped with cannons, it was probably a good guess that to imitate cannon fire from the ships, you need loud pyrotechnics just near the stadium - basically aerial salutes of 8 to 10 inches (the larger the inch in diameter the firework shells, the louder the concussions....) They also did the same presentation at the IMBC competition - same music, same dancers, same drillers, and same patterns - but without the concussive pyrotechnics.......

The stadium pyrotechnicians fired the fireworks on cue on these happenings - when the band forms the pirate ship shape, and later on when the smoke comes out in nearly the 50 yard line........

The second flurry of fireworks likely re-enacts the main pirate ship firing the cannons against enemy pirate ships as depicted in the film, probably.

Joe Kerr I am a marching band person and I will tell you as being one of the best bands in eastern South Dakota it is a TON of work, but performing never gets old. Do it all throughout high school and you will make your best memories of high school there

It’s a pain waking up @6 am and staying after school for rehearsals, having to memorize the show the drill as well as having to learn stand tunes on top of that, but it’s worth it.

There are several pre-game videos available for viewing on KZfaq where you will see the MI at its grandest, its fullest. The pre-game by the MI features the first school song of any university - called "Illinois Loyalty."

Sorry - no Illiniwek - that thing came to an end around 2007 or so. You really wanted to see the Chief at the start of the "3 in 1" storm down the West end of the field and intercut through the band, hop, do jumping splits, running jumps, and wolf jumps as the Chief goes down to the north end of the field, and then to the center end and do a saluting freeze up in the air with his hands, just before "Hail to the Orange." You must be sad that Illiniwek tradition is no more - there is only a very outside hope that the Chief could dance again on the field - but all hopes are currently futile at this time.

Bring back the Chief!!! My late wife declared she would NEVER return to see an Illinois game until you PC people did so! I heartily agree with her idea! The 3 in one is a sham without the Chief!
