Lion Fanfare and Downfield
 |
"Lion Fanfare and Downfield" is a fight song medley of Pennsylvania State University. It is performed at the beginning of every home football game by the Penn State Blue Band.
The "Lion Fanfare" is performed with a fanfare step; it follows the traditional Blue Band high step, but the changing between feet is more crisp, and performed at half time. The piece consists of a high-intensity fanfare performed with a 45-degree snap to the left, 90-degree snap to the right, and another 45-degree snap back to the left. The fanfare segues directly into "Downfield", during which the entire band marches to midfield to the tune of "The Nittany Lion".
