Florida's band does not enjoy the finest possible reputation for a college marching band. (I've heard the joke in which someone asks what the band is performing by asking "Which song are they ruining today?" more than a few times.)

And no other college marching band had a summer as cool as The Pride of the Sunshine's, surely: Their visit to London to perform as part of the 2012 Olympics is chronicled in this very cool video from Steve Johnson:
