- * ["Picnic Day 2007"]: The band directors agreed to end the battle at 9PM as a draw, where anything played after 9:00 would not count and no fight songs were to be played. This was an attempt to begin ending the battle at a reasonable time, while it was still fun, as had previously been accepted prior to the epic battle in 2004. Stanford and Humboldt's directors chose not to leave. The band agreed to its own terms and marched out at 9PM and called the battle a draw. The incident was poorly managed in that it was unclear to the audience why the band was "losing." A clarification is [http://community.livejournal.com/ucdavis/3740623.html here]. Unfortunately, the Stanford and Humboldt directors did not disclose the terms of the agreement to their bands, letting them think that they won, when in fact they reneged on the terms of the battle. So according to Stanford and Humboldt, the Stanford band won the battle after 10:30. Humboldt came in second place, playing their fight song around 10:15 and UC San Diego took the third spot finishing sometime before 10:00. The Aggie Band-Uh! Alumni, (about 30 strong) were shocked when they showed up just after 10:30 to continue the battle - only to find the battle over, and to find their band had packed up and headed for dry land. The Aggies took fourth place. Honorable Mention goes to newcomers [http://osumb.oregonstate.edu/home.html Oregon State] who undoubtedly will bring a deeper folder to next year's Battle. Contrary to popular belief, this year was not an "Exhibition of the Bands" but in fact a "Battle." The last song was NOT ''Aggie Fight''.	+ * ["Picnic Day 2008"]: The battle ended as a draw between the Aggie Band and Stanford at 9:30PM. The audience was informed of the agreement to end a bit early and the other bands left amicably. Present were UC San Diego, the Cal Band, UC Irvine, Humboldt, Stanford, Oregon State, and the Cal Aggie Marching Band-uh.

Not only that, but it was the first battle in like 10 years that was actually won, and not ended in a tie. Yet, according to Humboldt - the Aggie Band-Uh was disqualified for multiple infractions leaving Humboldt and Stanford to win. This was the infamous "smoke out" incident, where certain members of the Aggie Band-Uh filled up barbecues with cardboard, lit them on fire to fan the thick smoke towards the Humboldt band in an attempt to get them to capitulate. Both sides still claim victory to this day. Thankfully, things have been much friendlier since then, with the two bands enjoying a more healthy, positive relationship.

Stanford and Humboldt's directors chose not to leave. The band agreed to its own terms and marched out at 9PM and called the battle a draw. The incident was poorly managed in that it was unclear to the audience why the band was "losing." A clarification is [http://community.livejournal.com/ucdavis/3740623.html here]. According to Stanford and Humboldt, the Stanford band won the battle after 10:30. Humboldt came in second place, playing their fight song around 10:15 and UC San Diego took the third spot finishing sometime before 10:00. The Aggie Band-Uh! Alumni, (about 30 strong) were shocked when they showed up just after 10:30 to continue the battle - only to find the battle over, and to find their band had packed up and headed for dry land. The Aggies took fourth place. Honorable Mention goes to newcomers [http://osumb.oregonstate.edu/home.html Oregon State] who undoubtedly will bring a deeper folder to next year's Battle. Contrary to popular belief, this year was not an "Exhibition of the Bands" but in fact a "Battle." + The last song was NOT ''Aggie Fight''.
