Darlin, don't call me low class because of something you didn't like. I don't blow the horns, another parent does that for his son & fellow teammates. I decorated the field for our team, so they could have a nice homecoming. Anyway we don't care if you liked it or not OUR GUYS do & that's all that we care about!!!

What's the diff, like you said he made it, so be happy.

 

I think train whistles are illegal if that`s what it is.

General you'll find out friday. They blow that horn every play. It can be a 2 yard run but to hear it they just scored the game winning td. It is against the tssaa rules for the band to play during plays. I would think it is also for a big fogg/train horn to blow.

Seriously, they blow that horn every freakin play, and if you attempt a field goal, just be ready. It will be blowing the whole time. Someone should report them. Too bad they dont play USJ...hahaha

This is not for or against the horn blowing - but there have been 2 previous threads (1 about bands playing and 1 about artifical noise makers) with many post. No one found a specific rule about the band or the noise makers (I'm too lazy to look it up, but some folks researched and found nothing). There was a mention of "non participates that create an unfair advantage" can be penalized at the descretion of the referee. What determines an unfair advantage? Train horn? Air horn? Band? A student section chanting/yelling during a FG? A student section in the endzone waving noodles? Just a question. I think its just part of the game. I have no problem with the horns or bands - although the horn gets on my nerves at times and I'm a HC fan. Is it bad sportsmanship? Not to me. Booing / taunting the oppenents after a good play or win (by player or fan) - this is bad sportsmanship to me. IMO - I kinda got off the subject a little bit.

 

BTW the Farley band from Memphis was very impressive last year. They were causing a "distraction" from the parking lot - before they even entered the stadium!

I don't think it is fair for th horn to be blown during the snap count. But any other time it is fair.

I have seen a band get a warning during a highschool game for plying after the ball is snapped, so evidently there is a rule against it. And the band playing is one thing, but blowing a train whistle...i mean come on. I can guarantee that a train whistle wont be tolerated during the playoffs because you wont have local refs...
