guys who lettered in football. When everyone criticizes Chow, Anae, Doman, Detmer, Grimes et all, and even ARod, I know there wasn't much football being played.

Then again, it's a sports board and that what people do....second-guess everything.

Y'all are going to scoff at this, but Big 12 marching bands are serious.

The Vegas half time show was pretty embarrassing. Arizona, meanwhile, killed it.

I thought we ruled the day on marching bands in Vegas.

I don't care how much a marching band kills it, it's still a yawner.

BYU band is a joke.

So you saw them practice once from 1000 ft away and now you know all about them.

All I needed to know. No marching skill. Limited musical prowess. Bad uniforms.

That's the funny thing about marching bands.

Yea that is one of our main competition. They are a big band for sure.

Blue for Life

Yep. 1/2 the kids in my ward are in band.

And I should clarify my take

We will be sure to give them orange slices and twinkies after each game.

So like... ditch the band and get a good DJ and a better sound system?

I’d rather they up their game in football, basketball and all other sports

BYU needs Alan Ashton and Bruce Bastian and their software back on staff!

Hoopster

BYU needs a full overhaul of its "marching band."

VACOUGFAN

9/9/21 5:32pm

I’d be happy with a full overhaul

TCuz

9/9/21 5:39pm

Oh, right! You are the one that is weirdly insecure about the marching band

CougarGM

9/9/21 5:56pm

More concerned about the use of sacred tithing funds being wasted on tuba nerds.

TCuz

9/9/21 5:58pm

Did a tuba nerd drain his spit valve in your cereal back in the day?

CougarGM

I’m more concerned about any tithing funds that were wasted on you

Should narcissistic psycho meat heads benefit from tithing?

I'm curious about what you mean by that.

That's good clean fun for primary singing time.

ditch

That would be a good start.

First step is for the band to stop playing popcorn popping. It's so embarrassing

BYU has a really good band. The musical talent at BYU is insane.

Musically yes. They can play.

VACOUGFAN

Too boring.

Bad Plus Fan

I’m okay with that. As long as they aren’t the Stanford band.

No one wants them to be those hacks.
