It is the second part of the 15th episode of the second season, and the second half of the 35th episode overall. It originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on September 7, 2001. It was written by C. H. Greenblatt, Aaron Springer, and Merriwether Williams, and the animation was directed by Frank Weiss. Springer served as storyboard director, and Greenblatt served as storyboard artist. The song "Sweet Victory" by David Glen Eisley was featured in the episode and was later released on the album The Yellow Album in 2005.[1] In this episode, Squidward tells a lie, claiming that he has a marching band, after his high school rival Squilliam Fancyson brags about being a successful bandleader. Squilliam offers to let Squidward and his band cover for him at the Bubble Bowl, a sporting event. Squidward accepts eagerly, but realizes he does not have a band. He recruits various citizens of Bikini Bottom to play in his band, but they perform terribly in rehearsal, which makes Squidward quit. SpongeBob, disgraced, gets the band together and they give the performance of their lives. At the Bubble Bowl, Squidward is successful in front of his rival. The episode received critical acclaim, with praise being directed towards its humor, Squidward's portrayal, and the uplifting ending; it is considered by critics and fans to be among the best episodes of the entire series. "Band Geeks" received a nomination and won at the 2002 Golden Reel Awards for Best Sound Editing in Television – Animation. Plot summarySquidward gets a call from his former high school classmate, Squilliam Fancyson, who is very successful and has succeeded in everything in which Squidward has failed, such as music. Squilliam reveals to Squidward that he has become the leader of a band and that they are supposed to play at the Bubble Bowl, but he will be busy at that time and will not be able to attend. Squilliam derisively suggests that Squidward's band should substitute for his at the Bubble Bowl, believing that Squidward does not have one. However, Squidward defiantly insists that he does have a band to impress Squilliam and accepts the offer. He assembles a large marching band composed of various Bikini Bottom residents, including SpongeBob, Patrick, Mrs. Puff, Sandy and Mr. Krabs.[2]During their one week of training, the band performs consistently poorly and fails to improve at all. Patrick and Sandy get into a brawl when Patrick kicks Sandy and, as a result, Sandy shoves him up a trombone. On the second day, while practicing a march, two flag twirlers are killed when they spin the flags too fast (per Squidward's demand), causing them to fly into the air and crash into a blimp. On the third day, Squidward checks on Plankton's harmonica solo, but Plankton becomes exhausted and collapses from running back and forth between the holes, since the harmonica is bigger than he is. On the last day of practice, Squidward says if everyone plays loud, they will be good. However, they break the windows from playing too loudly, and mess up Squidward’s face, and Squidward changes the plan of playing loud to playing extremely quiet. The band members start insulting each other, and then get into a huge brawl. A grieving Squidward expresses his disappointment in all of them and goes home in distress over his failure. However, SpongeBob convinces the other band members to go through with the performance for Squidward's sake, and he takes command of their training. On the day of the concert, when Squilliam shows up in order to see Squidward fail, Squidward claims that his band died in a marching accident. However, Squidward's band shows up and he is forced to go through with the performance. They enter a large glass dome complete with human fans. Squidward turns his head away from the band before they begin, assuming that the performance will be a disaster, but the band is tremendously successful, playing a rock ballad titled "Sweet Victory" (with SpongeBob's lead vocals provided by the song's actual writer, David Glen Eisley). Squilliam enters a state of shock and faints, leaving Squidward to celebrate as he leaps into the air.[2] Production"Band Geeks" was directed by Aaron Springer, and was written by Springer, C. H. Greenblatt, and Merriwether Williams. Frank Weiss served as animation director, and Greenblatt worked as storyboard artist.[2] The episode originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on September 7, 2001, with a TV-Y7 parental rating.[3] The writers started to work for "Band Geeks" with the idea of a rival.[4] Williams said, "We always wanted to do a rival show, and I think we tried to do a rival show for SpongeBob, and it wasn't working. So we came up with the idea of a rival for Squidward and, in some ways it's Squidward's story, and SpongeBob and Patrick are just kind of around."[4] The idea of having a band was unspecified. Williams remarked, "I forget who was in band. I was not in a band, but I think maybe Doug Lawrence was in a band. I think Steve Hillenburg was in a band, too."[4] When storyboard artist Greenblatt, with the writers, was storyboarding "Band Geeks", they thought of "a big number" at the end, where everyone would rally together for Squidward.[4] Greenblatt said, "The story outline called for making it a really great marching band sequence, and it usually helps to have the music ahead of time to board to, so we started searching around."[4] The writers were able to find music, as Nickelodeon has a library of royalty-free music.[4] The writers listened to various marching band tunes.[4] Greenblatt said, "and the more we heard, it didn't seem terribly funny that the finale was just them playing marching band music well."[4] However, David Glen Eisley's song "Sweet Victory" stood out from the other tracks in the library.[4] Greenblatt said "It was different than what we were looking for, but it was so amazing that we knew we had to use it. So we boarded the sequence to the music, and it felt like such a better ending than any song we could have written on our own."[4] The writers gave it a freeze-frame shot for the ending.[4] Greenblatt's favorite part was director Springer's drawings of Patrick on the electric drums and SpongeBob saying, "It's the thrill of one more kill" (an excerpt from "Sweet Victory").[4] The live action Bubble Bowl crowd is footage from a United States Football League game featuring the Memphis Showboats and the Birmingham Stallions on June 16, 1984.[5] The music used in the segment of the episode where Squidward's marching band is playing while coming down the street was from Nick Carr, the series' music editor. He found a piece of marching band music that was a band intentionally playing poorly, but sound designer Jeff Hutchins said, "You could still discern the tune."[4] Hutchins thought "Well, let's take this one step further. What if they couldn't even play their instruments, let alone a tune?"[4] He brought his portable DAT recorder to a musical instrument retail store and met two men who worked on its loading dock,[4] packaging and shipping the instruments.[4] Hutchins made the two men play most of the instruments terribly.[4] He said, "I got these two guys to squeak, blast, and squawk on most of the instruments they sold."[4] Upon returning to the studio with the sound effects, he built a marching band, one instrument at a time.[4] Hutchins said, "They weren't in any key and had no rhythm whatsoever. When you heard it, you just had to say 'Ouch!'"[4] Hutchins played the sound effects for series creator Hillenburg for review. Hillenburg rejected it, saying "it was too far over the edge."[4] Hutchins said, "a lot of effort for something that lasts only 15 seconds on screen. In this case, the whole thing never made it on the air."[4] The featured song "Sweet Victory" was later released in the series soundtrack album called The Yellow Album on November 15, 2005.[6][7] The album featured 25 tracks, including the "SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song".[8] "Sweet Victory" went from being a largely unknown production music track, to selling three hundred thousand iTunes downloads in one year after its exposure on the show.[9] "Band Geeks" was released on the DVD compilation titled SpongeBob SquarePants: Halloween on August 27, 2002,[10][11] and on SpongeBob SquarePants: Home Sweet Pineapple that was released on January 4, 2005.[12][13] The episode was also included in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete 2nd Season DVD released on October 19, 2004.[14][15] On September 22, 2009, "Band Geeks" was released on the SpongeBob SquarePants: The First 100 Episodes DVD, alongside all the episodes of seasons one through five.[16][17] Reception"Band Geeks" received widespread critical acclaim among fans and critics. Upon release, the episode was awarded and honored at the 2002 Golden Reel Awards for Best Sound Editing in Television – Animation category.[18] Tom Kenny, SpongeBob's voice actor, considers "Band Geeks" one of his favorite episodes.[19] In a 2009 review, Michael Cavna of The Washington Post ranked the episode at {{abbr|No.|Number}} 5 in his "The Top Five SpongeBob Episodes: We Pick 'Em" list. He said "Squidward's mix of artistic aspiration in the face of goading, humiliation and unrelenting sub-mediocrity made this a kids' episode that adults can experience on a whole 'nother level."[20] The Guardian ranked "Band Geeks" the second best episode of the show, next to "Krusty Krab Training Video".[21] Nancy Basile of About.com ranked "Band Geeks" at {{abbr|No.|Number}} 1 in her "Best SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes" list, writing "[The episode] has so many of the best elements of SpongeBob, crafted into a story whose rhythm flows smoothly and quickly to reach a poignant end."[22] She praised the entire premise, calling it "funny just to think about."[22] Basile also lauded the ending "complete with a keytar and freeze-frame jump in the air."[22] Emily Estep of WeGotThisCovered.com ranked the episode as the fourth-best SpongeBob SquarePants episode, explaining that "most of the gags in 'Band Geeks' center around Squidward's bleak existence, but it's also stuffed with one-liners from and about each of the characters on the show, such as the line 'These claws ain't just for attractin' mates!' from an about-to-brawl Mr. Krabs, and when Squidward says, 'No, Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument,' in response to an inevitable query from the stupid star."[23] "Band Geeks" was one of the top episodes as chosen by viewers at Nick.com in the event "The Best Day Ever Marathon" held in 2006.[24] In November 2007, as part of the "Top 100 Greatest Moments in Nicktoons History" during "Superstuff Nicktoons Weekend", it is ranked as the #1 greatest moment of all time. In 2012, Nickelodeon in the United Kingdom launched an event called "SpongeBob's Top 100", where viewers can vote at Nick.co.uk for their favorite episode.[25] With over 160,000 votes cast, "Band Geeks" emerged as the winner.[26] It currently holds the highest rating and thus the #1 position for SpongeBob episodes on the series' IMDb page. Super Bowl LIIIAfter the death of series creator Stephen Hillenburg on November 26, 2018, a Change.org petition was created which requested that the NFL pay tribute to him by playing "Sweet Victory" during the halftime show for Super Bowl LIII. As of January 11, 2019, the petition received over 1.1 million signatures.[27] On December 12, 2018, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the host stadium for Super Bowl LIII, posted a scene from the episode on their official Twitter account, hinting at a possible success from the petition's efforts.[28] On January 13, the headlining act, Maroon 5, also released a teaser video featuring a second of SpongeBob, which furthered speculation.[54] During the halftime show on February 3, a short clip of Squidward and a snippet of the Bubble Bowl performance scene were used to announce guest singer Travis Scott, who Squidward described as "a true musical genius who needs no introduction."[29] Many social media users were critical of the failure to include the "Sweet Victory" song and found the brief animated segment to be an inadequate tribute to Hillenburg.[30][31] However, CBS News reported that the response by SpongeBob fans was mixed and noted the positive response from the animated show's official Twitter account.[32] Despite the show's mixed reception, "Sweet Victory," after the Super Bowl aired, increased 566% when it came to the on-demand streams it garnered, going up from 46,000 streams on February 1–2 to 310,000 on February 3–4.[33] This led the track to enter Billboard's United States Hot Rock Songs chart at number 23[34] and the Kid Digital Song Sales chart at number two, just under Pinkfong's "Baby Shark."[35] The day after the game, the Dallas Stars' Twitter page uploaded a modified version of the full "Sweet Victory" sequence, in which the band's uniforms were altered from red to green to match the Stars' colors, with the title "The #SuperBowl halftime show fans deserve". The Stars' video had previously been shown during their February 1 game against the Minnesota Wild.[36][37] Two weeks after the Super Bowl, NASCAR utilized the song in its entirety, as a promotional video for the 61st running of the Daytona 500.
