I don't love or hate it--but when I was in it for one year in the late 80s,

they seemed very conservative in conduct, uniforms, etc. Was all business which meant no fun. Very little personality shown. Just safe, forgettable band material. Maybe it has changed a bit over the years as I haven't noticed the band in recent years--but maybe not.

With Love/Hate you’re going to ignore most of the fan base

The band will be there. We charted a flight. But I agree.

12/7/21 10:19pm

The whole band? Or a smaller group?

andrewg3

12/7/21 10:31pm

Most of the band. The ones that won’t be there have family obligations or can’t attend.

New halftime show EVERY game? Used to happen. Not that much work.

Wolvercougs
