Was the Hawkeye Marching Band there?

Back in Black is awesome, but it is about 2 or 3 minutes too long.
Seriously, why do we have to play the whole song?

Enter Sandman is awesome, but cut it when the team hits the field, I want to hear the IOWA FIGHT SONG!

For that matter I don't recall hearing much from the HMB all game. We could hear the Alumni Band in the North Stands, but whoever the trigger-happy DJ was was killing us with the recorded music!

I don't ever remember them playing all of BIB before, so I don't know what the deal was there. I don't mind Enter Sandman being played when they hit the field, but I would have no objections to fading it out and let the HMB take over. The only problem is that with the way the music is tied with the video, it does seem like it needs to be played for a few seconds after the team runs out. It'd be kind of awkward to cut out the music right when it gets intense, when the point of the music/video is to build up to that.

Also noticed that much of BIB was played. I was guessing that this was due to them waiting for ESPN to come back to the game?
