9. Pride Of The Southland Band

There aren’t many bands more recognizable in college football than Tennessee’s “Pride of the Southland Band”.

The band’s elaborate pregame show includes formations of the Power T, Vols, UT and typically a nod to America.

Tennessee’s band then forms the iconic T the team runs through prior to each game.

In addition to the band’s traditions inside the stadium, they also march into the stadium before each home game, which culminates with the “Salute to the Hill”.

Tennessee’s band is one of the truly great things about football in the SEC.
