For 3 years I have wrote letters, posted on this board and the scout board, and even called the school athletic department once a few years back complaining. I go to watch a football game. I pay good $$$$ to watch a football game. I don't want a band behind me for a quarter blowing my eardrums out. I'm sorry, but it sucks! People in my area groan when they see you guys walking up. They might smile  to not be mean to the kids, but you don't hear the initial groan among the fans in the area. Don't take this personally but if the band was at the game or not,  I wouldn't care. I'm not paying to see a band. Stick to your endzone seats and play. And I don't care if other schools do it, I don't care. I'm guessing those are OUTDOOR stadiums that are much larger most likely. Inside a tiny dome the sound is unbearable. I can't hear the ref make a penalty call (which is the game, the thing I am actually paying $$$ to see). If the guy on the PA is saying anything I can't hear that. I can hardly talk to the person next to me. Godforbid I want to talk to someone 2 or 3 seats down from me.  It's annoying!

Now I know you are just doing what your told, I don't want to take this out on you. But a large part why I am not renewing my season tickets is not because the team loses, I can sorta deal with that. But because the "Dome Experience" for football is no longer fun. And the band in the 3rd quarter making me def is a very large part of it...for me!

Good Luck, Best Wishes, Happy Holidays!
