Should add that most fans genuinely want BYU to have a big, impressive band
And we want a product on the field that's worthy of the vast effort, preparation and talent of the band members.

They should either decide to be a real marching band (bleh) or significantly downplay it (hooray). The Band is not great

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

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

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

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

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

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