I’ve held off for years but today took the cake.
I don’t like our band. I like their spirit and enthusiasm but not their sound or size or uniforms or performances.
There is no place for an “orchestral” band in college football. The brass section needs to be 50% larger, at least. Keep the flute section if you want. But actually hearing the flute section is ridiculous.
The uniforms are awful. Burn them. Go with a western style uniform.
Our marching isn’t great. Wear white shoes and march well enough to earn the right to wear white shoes.
The straw that broke this camel’s back was the performance today. Blase. Pedestrian. Apathetic. And NOT PATRIOTIC.
What is the matter here? It’s the 20th anniversary of 9/11, our flags are at half mast, there is no other band there. The band could’ve done an extended performance, a moving patriotic tribute to our country, but no, they played some garbage routine to the student section and walked off.
Our band is embarrassing. We need to start over. New leadership, philosophy, uniforms, and sense of purpose.
