It's a huge deal at P5 schools. Go to any SEC game and you will see. If anything, we should encourage that as part of the atmosphere. You don't have to love it or even watch it, but college football bands are not going away.

Marching Band at football games needs to go away. There I said it.

You must not live in the South. In TX, it is as big as football.

I wish we’d do more of a military marching band like Texas A&M

The ceiling on how entertaining it can be is low

How does any of that not make it incredibly lame?

It isn’t as big as football.

That's why I said some do a great job. Not as big as football though.

LOL as big as football.

Our HS owns 2 semi trailers for the band and we take them to every away game and

Great. It's not nearly as big as football is in Texas.

If schools like USC are willing to bring thier bands with them on road trips, I don't think they're going away

The band improves the experience, but the marching doesn't.

I could agree with this for 90% of the bands. The black colleges down south

The absolute lamest part of college football. Get rid of them.

Costs a fortune too. I'd rather watch local kids play on the field at halftime

Gustav

Without the marching band we wouldn't have the greatest play ever in college

Goliath

Why should the vast majority of people care, they're out buying concessions.

Without marching bands, WordPerfect would've never started up in Ut County.

I like marching band halftime show.

So do I and my wife hates that at half time TV cuts to some guys talking about

Dude, the marching band stuff is part of the pageantry that is college football!

PhilPete

You don't have to sit through it. You are allowed to leave your seat to buy

Thrill

9/20/19 12:41pm

Sure. But most people don't want to sit through it. So give them something else.

I see where you're going with this. More young girls in skimpy outfits parading

WDaddy

Two nostrils and one finger?

StarMan

I don't like that they do the same exact show each week. Mix it up a little mayb

Can we also get rid of the tradition of having scantily clad girls holding up

frontrowcougar

No way, but they do need to improve their playlist. Love the band playing in game. Need better songs.

As if there's a better song than Popcorn Popping...get real

Bands and football games go together like peanuts and crackerjack

canofpicante

9/20/19 1:44pm

No. The marching band just depends on football for some relevance.

HONOMO

9/20/19 2:03pm

The Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens both have marching bands

Wingnut

9/20/19 2:27pm

That is interesting. Had no idea.

HONOMO

Let’s clarify. To school teams. It’s been that way since the beginning. So,

They don't bug me that much. They're just unnecessary. I've already admitted

Fine. Keep the band. Lose the marching.

I'm ok with this

It just sounds like college football. Cant get rid of it.
