Rivers Cuomo still loves his alma mater, Santa Monica College.

The Weezer frontman who attended SMC, returned to play the halftime show during the school’s homecoming football game.

Cuomo enlisted some help from the college music department on Weezer’s hit cover of “Africa.” Also joining were Jason Pitts on drums and bassist Kevin O’Neal.
