We’re with the band
“Bet you didn’t know Portland State had a band,” said Scott Morrison’s father, Alex.
No one did. And to have a group of rowdy band geeks getting riled up for Portland State’s biggest game is a pleasant surprise, indeed. They’re noisy, they play good music and they attack their job with enthusiasm.
Too bad they aren’t actual Portland State students. Instead, the band is from Cal State Fullerton and was hired for the Vikings’ NCAA tourney game against Kansas.
Not that we’re complaining. The first song they played was “Basket Case,” by Green Day—a fitting tribute to Portland State’s colors. They’ve even got Viktor E. Viking dancing.
