Graham Gano had his mind set on warming up for the second half, and nothing was going to stop him.
The Carolina Panthers kicker came out of the locker room a bit early before the second half of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yet Gano was in for a bit of a surprise, as Raymond James Stadium had been completely taken over by the Bethune-Cookman marching band, which was performing its halftime routine.
Some kickers would have chalked it up as a loss, but not Gano, who decided to take the field anyway.

As you might imagine, things got a little testy, as Gano had to shove a band member out of the way to perform his kicks.
To the band’s credit, it carried on unfazed despite Gano launching footballs right in the middle of them. Here a few more images from the bizarre scene.
