first of all before i say this i love my DB band. they are obviously one of the best bands in the country and they have 400+ people and are very loud, Having said that, they might be the biggest waste of a band that good. They dont play while we are on defense ever, but when we on offense they always look to crank it up and play the same dang songs over and over again.
another point, our band uses their halftime show for there competition practice. Nobody wants to hear these old, slow, depressing songs at a FOOTBALL GAME! Play some upbeat songs that people know. 2 times this year we had to watch and listen to them play a whole thing on a story of a red balloon. a red balloon really? a halftime shows are pathetic and its a disgrace.
i know its against the rules but every band plays during the plays anyway. I was a Senior last year and when your close to the band and on offense you cant hear a thing, you would think they would do that to the other team. Even when you talk to some of the band parents or their parents (just some not all) they feel like they Grace of with their presence at the games.
again, i really do appreciate how good our band is i just think in the football aspect of our band they really need to work on it.
