Brings a tear to your eye...sadly missed...will NEVER be forgotten

I feel very fortunate I was able to hear Dixie played by the Ole Miss band throughout several years of football seasons. The Grove and Dixie are the two major ingredients that made Ole Miss and Oxford so special setting them apart from every other university. But to actually experience "The Pride of the South", the Ole Miss band, so passionately playing Dixie With Love under the live oaks of the Grove among thousands of captivated fans, both home and away, young and old, is something that students and younger people today were robbed of experiencing. The energy felt was adoration and pride that people will continue to talk about more than 50 years from now.

sure do miss dixie gives me chill bumps

I love this so much.

I was there! My son is the sax player with the sunglasses on.

Love it Good job band.

I loved our happy world.

STILL IS HAPPY...even moreso w Lane leading the way!!!

To whoever shot and posted this video in 2013, thank you! You captured my daughter in the video. At the time, this was the only way I was able to see her perform. Hotly Toddy!

There is NOTHING in college sports that compares to game day in the Grove! NOTHING! HOTTY TODDY!

Awesome, Simply Awesome.

That's the way God meant it to be...

God Bless the Ole Miss Band.... Sure would have been nice to hear Dixie with Love...

The new song sounds great but Dixie just cannot be replaced because not only did it sound better but it was a tradition to Ole Miss as Rocky Top is to Tennessee.

Who held over. Also it’s awesome hearing those trumpet hit high C’s

It's 2023 & Lane Kiffin's Ole Miss Rebels just finished Season 11 - 2 & ranked #9 in both major polls! REJOICE & BE HAPPY, PEOPLE!!!

That's a nice close up of what I'm sure is just a random member of the band at the beginning. Strombologna.

Gotta love DIXiE !

Seems like the band has gotten smaller since this was shot. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Have to agree. Enrollment is UP at Ole Miss but the Band's numbers appear to have declined. Can anyone out there confirm or discount such?

Yep, a State led by a bunch of ultra - conservative white men unwilling to embrace change & allow the state to truly grow.

Damn I miss hearing the real Dixie

So in 2013 they played Dixie and then half of Dixie with Love and then went straight into "♫ then Jesus came like a stranger in the night! Praise the Lord, I saw the Light! ♫ Very strange....

sad*

Not the same without Dixie

I saw the light with Dixie!

As famously said....we may not win the game, but we've never lost a pregame tailgate party!

LSU's tailgate party has been tops for years. The grove just entered the convetsation about 2 years ago when Kirk Herbstreit said something about it.

I can't believe Mississippians allowed our traditions to be vanished by Mississippians.

It wasn’t Mississippians. It’s was a Jewish PR firm that started that BS and then a Jewish journalist named Kevin Sack that stirred the controversy

So...what do they call this band now? They sound good, but the University of Mississippi has no pride in the South. I think I’ll listen to the Pride of the South play “From Dixie With Love” now and mourn. “The university grants a diploma and severs ties, but you never leave Ole Miss.” That’s not the exact quote in the Union, but it’s close enough. Ole Miss left me. No other way to say it. Class of 1987.

Ole Miss has changed as society has changed. Their is still LOTS of tradition at Ole Miss, new & old alike.
