Why bring out the giant drum at halftime is nobody is going to hit it? Just had some folks dance around and pretend. Disappointment
Yeah let's just scrap the band and do what Marketing REALLY wants to do which is march 25 different groups of nobodies out on the field for photos and make us all golf clap for them just to pander to some corporate sponsors. That all being said you listen to the Texas Tech band and they can really wail and sound immaculate. Scrap the woodwinds and be done with it.
This. The amount of people/groups/teams they march out during every game is overkill.

The bad is not good. You can hardly hear them at halftime and for Homecoming the best you can come up with The Sound of Music, Come on.
my seats today were near the student section (and band) and I kinda felt sorry for the band. They were trying to play at the same time as the piped in music and were definitely not winning the battle.
I heard very few notes from the visitor side on the second deckThe band looked and sounded great today. I heard every note from the first row, second deck, home side of the field.
For years I've wanted to establish a rule Sousa music ONLY. I know they like to arrange and try new stuff but nothing is worse than the tributes to Billy Joel and such... it just doesn't work. I still have nightmares of the band playing Pressure....
Why does that happen? No excuse for that.

It's unbelievable how some people on this forum can always find something to gripe about. Life is difficult enough during the week, try looking at the brighter side of things for the weekend at least. I had to watch from Orlando, but it looked like a beautiful day, the game was sold out again, The Gophers won, Bielema lost. Enjoy it!
I understand the song selection is not on the students, but we are now three game performances in and the band has not improved. Where are all the posters blaming it on freshman, no time for preparation, etc. ? What's your excuse this week?
