'Hold On To Your Butts': Dancing Dinosaurs Take The Gridiron

Iowa State's marching band put the T. rex in its tribute to "Jurassic Park."

The Iowa State marching band held nothing back with its “Jurassic Park” tribute during a football game Saturday, putting a troupe of tyrannosaurs on the field to dance to the movie’s theme song.

The performance took place during the Iowa State Cyclones’ 30-14 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers in Ames, Iowa ― but it was the marching band that absolutely won the day.

The internet’s reaction could best be summed up with Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic line from the movie: “Hold on to your butts.”

Or as one Twitter user put it: “I’m an Iowa State marching band fan now. Deal with it.”
