Guest hevyrevy1611 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Moat annoying things to me? •Small crowds, unparticipating/ unenthusiastic crowds, early leavers. •Crude, vulgar, mean-spirited yelling at players of own or other's team. •Incompetent, biased officiating, which seems to plague most games in all 6 classes (read comments board of any thread!.. and it not sour grapes either.. go to the games, you'll see! uhhggg!). These my main 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave1967 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Bands hitting the wrong note with regularity along with a lot of quiet and disinterested fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketsCH Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 The band, their music is terrible just about at any school.... with kids blaring notes all over while they play the same music every game... not appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridayMainEvent Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Idiots who stand on the fence and know absolutely nothing about football, yet berate every call that goes against their team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNoahHouck Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) My third least favorite is fans that yell at their coach, and call him out in games. He is your coach your jeering will not help the team improve. Sit in your seat, and cheer on your team. Even if they run it on 3rd and 50. A Calvary will not be successful when its leader is questioned at every snap. My second is drunk fans (Especially high schoolers). No, just no. Call your mom and get a ride home. My least favorite is without a doubt fans that boo the band. I don't care if you love or hate bands. If you hate bands then don't watch the show; you don't even half to cheer when they're done. Even if it is the worst band ever don't boo them. They put in work just like every other program in the school. The band supporters don't boo the football team. (If they do they shouldn't). It's childish. When you are at a game, rather it is home or away, YOU are representing YOUR school. Behave with professionalism and class, and stop acting so stupid.

I agree about never booing a band. But a few Coors can make a game more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarp Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I highly suspect that in East TN more band directors have kids playing on D1 scholarships than all the football coaches, and maybe more than all the athletic coaches combined. Granted AL and TN have huge bands rather than a limited number of scholarships, but we have a lot of kids there who are not music majors. Also most HS bands put in as many or more practice hours than are allowed for a sports team. Show some respect. If your school isn't one of the one's putting in that much work, I agree. Bad bands playing poor music isn't good. But go listen to Walker Valley or Bradley or Signal Mountain at half time. You will be amazed at the talent.

I've seen Signal Mountain at state for the past 3 years and they're awesome. Finished 7th at state in 2013. My band (South Gibson) finished 8th and Gibson finished 6th. Some great bands across the state like Elizabethton, Page, Adamsville, Cascade, Brighton, Spring Hill etc. if you haven't seen Munford high school you're missing out. Won a NATIONAL championship in 2011 or 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
