Oklahoma Sooners Marching Band to Perform at Super Bowl Halftime Show
March 29, 2025 – The University of Oklahoma’s marching band, known as The Showband of the South Central, has been selected to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, according to ESPN. This historic announcement marks a major milestone for the Sooners’ band, which has long been regarded as one of the most prestigious college marching bands in the country.
The selection comes as a surprise to many, as Super Bowl halftime performances are typically reserved for globally recognized pop and rock artists. However, the Sooners’ band has consistently impressed audiences with its high-energy performances, precision marching, and dynamic musical arrangements, making it a prime choice for the biggest stage in American sports.
“We are incredibly honored and excited to showcase our talent on one of the world’s largest platforms,” said Dr. Brian Britt, the director of the Oklahoma Sooners marching band. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students, and we can’t wait to represent the University of Oklahoma on the grandest stage of all.”
The Super Bowl, set to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, will draw millions of viewers worldwide. While details of the performance remain under wraps, insiders suggest that the band will incorporate elements of Oklahoma’s rich musical heritage into their set. Speculation is also growing about potential collaborations with well-known artists, which could make this a truly unforgettable halftime spectacle.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt praised the announcement, calling it a “proud moment” for the state. “This is a testament to the incredible talent and hard work of the students and staff at the University of Oklahoma,” he said.
With anticipation building, fans of both college football and the NFL eagerly await what promises to be a historic performance from The Showband of the South Central.
