I'm not wanting to diss our band because I think they did a good job and showed a ton of spirit every time I saw them in Pasedena. So props!
But I will say that it was very disappointing to me and the frog crowd I was sitting with to have them play Deep in the Heart of Texas past our section and a lot of the cameras at the front portion of the parade. Especially after the badgers beside us were able to scream their fight song as they came by.
Obviously they weren't going to play the fight song for the entire parade, it just didn't lend itself to crowd participation to show support and excitement. Everyone tried to clap along but that doesn't get ya very far.
And don't be idiotic enough to put down the badger band just to pump ourselves up. They are obviously a very talented and disciplined group with tons of energy.
Again, the TCU band was the most focused I've seen them lately, and I loved when they turned around to play towards the crowd at the end of the game. I didn't want to leave!
