Now The MOB presents: college mascots!
UH Fanfare
An inflatable duck and an oversized Shasta Root Beer can are brought onto the field.

Exeunt.
Ladies and gentlemen, the two-thousand seven Rice University Marching Owl Band also brings you: The University of Houston Cougar Marching Band — coming up next.
