what is the band director's name and email?
i was at the game today and agree with some of the comments about the in-game music selection by the band director being very inappropriate (most significantly noise-wise) for a football game in terms of lack of bass drum/tuba and deep noise being somewhat absent.
someone mentioned in another thread that they felt that you could hear the cal band better at times. while i am not sure if that is true or not, if so, it was because most of what they played involved strong bass drums which carry in any stadium and more often than not get a crowd on its feet and loud. in-game music with strong bass drums and tuba seems to be severly lacking with the U of M band. how can the music director not know this and how has he not rectified this? his music selection is very annoying for a football game.
we need to start writing emails to the band director respectfully requesting that he change up the music selection to more football appropriate stuff that will get a crowd energized in unison with the band. thoughts??
p.s. don't want to offend any band members on the board, but i have to agree that the disco themed stuff at half was kind of lame. it was all flutes and clarinets that you can barely hear in the stands.
