Either you have a good memory, D.C., or an excellent search engine! And it's obvious my memory is slipping, because I'd totally forgotten I'd made the same offer before!

Well, it was almost 6 years ago, so I don't blame you. But I did vaguely remember that it was mentioned somewhere before, so I tried a search of the board archives (every post since 2006 is archived!).
But I'll restate your trivia question to see if anyone remembers or can guess-
Originally posted by BUSongwriter View PostI was at that game and will buy a beer at the next home game for anyone who can answer this bit of trivia. Because it was played during Christmas break, a local high school band filled in that night. Name the high school band....
In the very, very unlikely event (that's a hint) the correct school is named by a minor, I will buy nachos.

I'll even include a photo of the band that played (on and on) the night of the seven overtimes. Ah, fieldhouse memories!Originally posted by Da Coach View Post

I'll give a clue, if OK with BU Songwriter, since we haven't had anyone even take a guess yet.
And because of the clue(s), BU Songwriter is no longer bound by his promise to buy a beer for the right guess.
For anyone willing to take a guess, I would advise you not let those uniforms throw you off.
What the heck are those uniforms? They look like some kind of Spanish cowboy outfit.
They look nothing like you'd expect for the school's nickname of "Trojans".Comment

I was in the basketball band that year, and yes, we were on the winter break. Gonna guess Peoria Bergan? I think I DJ'd a dance at Bergan or Spalding around 1980. Does anybody else remember that game against Wichita State (January 9, 1982) when we beat the #2 rated Shockers 55-47 at Robertson? I've got quite the story about my trip that day/night coming down to Peoria from Naperville.Comment

The band had the best seat in the house at the old fieldhouse!Comment

We have a winner! It was the Bergan band, directed by Grant Gillette.I don't recall why they were wearing the hats! I'd happily buy you the beer, Brave82, since I'm a Brave79 and would enjoy talking about the Hilltop in that era.Originally posted by BRAVE82 View Post
And I'll buy everyone on this board a beer if we go seven overtimes on Saturday night. I think I'm safe there, but yajusneverno. Go BU!Yajusneverno!Comment

Nice guess Brave82. It was the Bergan Trojans band. Those uniforms sure don't look anything like Trojans!

Would love to get together and talk about the Versace era with the gang. Will be coming down for the game against UIC but have a group with me. Anticipate several trips this season so I hope to meet possibly next time. Looking forward to checking out the new Business/ Engineering building (spent a lot of time in Baker Hall). BTW UIC plays tonight against Ball State.Originally posted by BUSongwriter View PostComment

Bradley's last opponent IUPUI is playing at South Florida tonight as part of the campus phase of the Cayman Islands Classic. USF was a 24-game winner last year, and they were picked 5th in the American Conference preseason poll. But IUPUI is playing them tough on the road.
With 16 minutes left in the game, IUPUI leads 42-41-
