Yeah I’m toying around with a ton of ideas right now…

Punk Philosopher

People like the "pep band" aspect. People don't really care about the "marching band" part.

No touching

12/8/21 7:42am

This is true.

Punk Philosopher

12/8/21 7:45am

I agree with this. I loved PP’s analysis/info here. I’ve been really burned out/

Yes, I think we are close to reaching a consensus here on the marching band

Punk Philosopher

The place where I've seen the crowd really care about the marching band was tOSU

For the record, I don’t hate the band

TADOW

I’m actually with you in a lot of ways on this…what do you think about this?

That’s great

5. Eliminate most/all of the marching band aspect of band performance.

Until BYU stops playing the fight song 50 clicks under tempo, I will be upset

Any thoughts on this post on a new mid game song?

Alright that is actually a FANTASTIC IDEA - MAKE A 1984 PLAYLIST

The pep aspect of the band is great

If we are going to be Big 12 our band has to level up.

If we are going to go that route, I want us to go all out but be completely

No game in the WORLD is close to the true weirdness of college football.

TheDash

12/8/21 5:26pm

More than just bands: the flag girls, cheerleaders, live eagle, jet flyover, etc

Thrill

12/8/21 6:32pm

yeah I was about to say the same thing

Punk Philosopher

12/8/21 6:34pm

I just....love college football

Punk Philosopher

12/8/21 6:34pm

College football is rooted in tradition. It has tribalism, nostalgia, and pride

seacougar

Can you do one of these for the flag girls?

HenderCoug

12/9/21 3:40am

Marching bands are like bagpipes. You wouldn't blast that music in your car, but

seacougar

12/9/21 11:30am

...I actually have blasted marching band in my car...

Punk Philosopher

12/9/21 11:44am

I have been known blast bagpipes on occasion, too. Started with a family reunion
