No song has brought more Stanford football fans to their feet while clapping their hands than "Come Join The Band". It's a terrific fight song. Such a shame that this tired excuse for a band gets more and more out of touch with fans on football Saturdays.

I'm not sure Come Join would get as many people on their feet and clapping at football as ARN does...It certainly doesn't at basketball and volleyball games, and didn't at football games when the track existed and the band played it for the shady side. If old people got to stand and clap for Come Join would they stop yelling at me to sit down after exciting plays?

Anyway, I think the band doesn't play it in the stadium anymore because they either aren't allowed or there isn't space for them to go around the edge of the field pregame. They used to always play Come Join in front of the shady side on the track before going to the endzone to get ready for the pregame show. I thought they now played it at Chuck Taylor before the walk usually, but maybe I'm misremembering (or maybe it's not every time). I would be very surprised if they don't play it at some point during the day.

They certainly do still play it at every basketball and volleyball game, it's the "end of the first half" song. I believe the dollies even still have the traditional mildly racist dance to it...
