A halftime show can consist of Cheerleader performances, Marching Band s playing music or other spectacle performances. AMERICAN FOOTBALL A halftime show is a traditional element in an American Football game. During the interval between the second and third quarters (normally 15 minutes) some form of entertainment is presented on the field. The entertainment frequently consists of performances by marching bands. At some High School and most College games, the school bands of the two competing teams perform at halftime; however, with most high schools, only the home team's band will perform. Often, the cheerleaders and/or a dance team will perform. Other activities may also take place, and these vary widely. Until sometime in the early 1980s, these shows were typically televised (assuming the game itself was televised, of course): since that time it has become traditional for TV networks to devote the halftime to a roundup of other ganes' scores. During a professional football game, a high school or college band may be brought in to perform. For the Super Bowl game, an elaborate show involving world-renowned music stars, dancers, fireworks and other special effects has become the norm.
