HS Football Band Play

[TGUN]

Last time I checked the band reportedly was to play while the.opposing team was on offense.... However it seems that there is a change in football protocol that I am not aware of..... Your own band blows their lungs out thanks to the directive of the band director while your team is on offense....and then the team has to call a time out...

 

Anyone else have or seen this new brilliant style of band leadership?

I have heard that head coaches tell them to quit playing when that happens.

Seems like we used to be bad about that but have gotten better past few years

Seems I recall a tweet a couple years ago from Summits band Twitter acct with a picture of your football team on the field saying something to the extent of "hey what's the football team doing on the band field". There in of itself lies the problem!!

I always thought the bands were supposed to stop playing during plays but that is obviously not the case.  It should be.

Don't know what your talking about..... But if true acceptance of that mentality is pretty much dead....

Awesome!  A band thread!  Finally something DB fans can get excited about!

I hope so. Seems like every time we turn around football is being attacked in some form or fashion. Hard to have a great atmosphere of coaches and in this case band directors are pulling in opposite directions.

False. Band play isn't any different than fans with cowbells or other noise makers

Only noise that is not allowed is piped in noise like a jumbo tron during the opponents offensive possession.
