"The Office" as athletic inspiration

And not the basketball episode. At a recent George Washington basketball game, the pep band broke into the theme from The Office during a timeout. In my experience, pep bands' exploration of the TV theme genre generally consists entirely of the Sportscenter music. Perhaps The Jeffersons' "Moving on Up."

The Office strikes me as an odd choice. There's no message behind that song that could possibly be construed to push your team to greater accomplishment. Of course, I'm guessing the band didn't intend any message beyond "this is a cool show and its music easily lends itself to instrumental arrangement."
