The uniforms were updated during the blue and tan era, sadly.

Yes, and they look terrible. I can't believe they've lasted this long.

They were updated again in 2009 to their current uniforms.

Get rid of them. Get rid of all marching bands. They're not entertaining.

Record it and play it on the speakers!

I thought about that - but if the kids in the band enjoy it who am I to say no?

Have you ever watched Ohio States band do their thing? Its fantastic

I've watched ND and Michigan. Still not entertaining to me.

I love TBDBITL I wish BYU would step it up. I remember students practicing for TBDBITL in fields and yards

to clarify - are you speaking specifically about the half-time show - or are you including them sitting in the stands?

If the NCAA adopts a strict 20 minute half time, then it won't really matter.

Anything that keeps the band off the field is ok in my book.
IceCreamButt

Keep them in stands only if they get a new play list!!!!

The band songs in the stands are great. I think they need more material, but

Though much maligned marching bands are an essential part of college football.

I bet college football would go on just fine without them.

Keep them, invest in them, give them course credit.

I agree with you completely. "In-home" is a great way to describe it currently

IIRC, you are exactly correct. ...and it shows on the field.

Is it .5 credits now? It was 1 credit when I was in it. Shame if they lowered it
andrewg3

I don't know about right now but as of 10 years ago it was 0.5 credits.

Just give them more than 5 songs to play
Indy Coug

Keep them because they are part of the pageantry, but more radio songs.

Watch THE Ohio State Band take the field before every home game. It still brings goosebumps to my body.
