Y:I know 现在已经到了中场halftime。 So I'm going to the snack bar to get some hot dogs. 你要不要也来点儿热狗？

Y: There is a halftime show?

P: Yes. The athletes can rest and adjust their game plan - and we get to enjoy a 300-member marching band!

When two colleges play each other in football, they send their marching bands. The purpose of the marching bands is to provide musical entertainment and boost team spirit for the crowd.

Y: Team spirit?团队精神？

P: One college marching band has 500 people in it!

Y No way!

P: Oh yes. It's called the marching 500.

Wait!. Here comes the band. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! 

(Band noises, crowd cheering)

P I guess so? That's it? Where's your team spirit?

Y: You want team spirit?
