Yep. 100% agree. The intros at USC were so much better than ours

Agreed. I feel like bands like Michigan really add to the atmosphere.

Examples of how Michigan does it?

The Michigan band is much bigger.

So make our band bigger!! That option should be on the table.

Not sure tbh. Just remember watching and thinking wow what a great atmosphere.

Unfortunately you are correct. No one seems to care about funding the Band.

At least they don't play the Mickey mouse theme song.

The band was still playing 50s band music in the late 90s.

BYU should send all marching band students to BYU-I instead. Similar vibes

TCuz

12/7/21 9:29pm

100%. It’s so costly to send them to games and bowls too. I say bag it lol

The Band didn't go to Hawaii in '92

They also were not loud enough much of the time. And their halftime show

How much do you think the band costs in lost ticket revenue?

Too much

“Fight You Cougars” is an embarrassment to the school. They bill it as some

DieHarder

I think the band that plays in the Marriott Center is just right

“Fight You Cougars” adds absolutely nothing; needs to be retired

Ya the BYU intro needs some work. The fans are into it and then the team intro

One thing BYU does well is provide a wide variety of activities and special interests to help as many students

Wonder if we would ever see a DJ mixing live in Lavell Edwards Stadium.

CrimWalCoug

They had a DJ at a couple of games this year

SUAVO

Plus the halftime show is the exact same songs each week

Opposite, I think that is. Was at the Baylor game. Their band was awesome, play

The HS bands and drill teams back in Texas are so much better than BYUs band.

WDaddy

12/7/21 10:03pm

It depends on how much booster money comes from Pro-marching band folks.

Crowd Factor

12/7/21 10:28pm

I wish people would lay off the band!!!

Doesn’t matter how much effort is put into it

I'm super glad that dude practices trombone 58 hours a week, but that doesn't mean i want to hear it

dryflyelk

12/8/21 5:08am

With that much dedication, talent and effort, product on the field could and should be better

ColoSpgs

12/8/21 5:13am

Should add that most fans genuinely want BYU to have a big, impressive band

ColoSpgs

12/8/21 5:22am

The band and it's members work as hard as anyone

I'm one of those people who stays after games and listens to the band, so I like

The only pre-game change I’d make is to drop that “traditional” song

Fake news, but from a marketing standpoint

Well, I think that certainly can be fixed...

Punk Philosopher

This is correct. College football requires the band. Pageantry. Pomp.
