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.”
I know the NFL has booked Maroon 5 for the next Super Bowl halftime show, but if they don’t also book these Iowa State dancing dinosaurs the nation will truly miss out: https://t.co/0CL9ckngAg

Just when you thought the music of John Williams couldn’t get any better.

I’ve been told the dinosaurs were members of the Iowa State JV band and I have never wanted to be a JV band member more than at this moment.

The Iowa State halftime performance from last night gives me life. I never thought people dancing in dinosaur costumes could be so amusing 😂😂😂
