    Also, I enjoy and defend the band, so that argument doesn't work here.
    It's called having fun. Maybe you should try it. The band was probably laughing at themselves for not being able to do the moves. Again, lighten up.

      The band HAS been much improved this year--choice of music, etc. They add so much. I have been meaning to tell the director with the backwards hat all year.

      But, does it irritate anyone else that they are available only a certain number of games per year, yet always make themselves available for Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Dayton, and Chatanooga?

      Let us not bag on each other, band. Take it out on that pompous idiot Altman who is pumping his fists right in front of you.

          Making fun of the dance team has always been cool.

              I have no problem with NOT showing skin....just get rid of the full body panty-hose-girdle things that they are wearing.

                Those girdle things probably connect their bottom to their tops so when they dance they aren't constiently pulling up or down on their uniforms. Their uniforms are probably one piece and thats to give the appearance of two pieces. You see that a lot in figure skating outfits as well as dance outfits. I would agree the seams would be better off in the back or on the side than straight up the front.

                  I'd suggest that we not make fun of either group. Both seem to represent our school very well. I know the dance girls work hard and have been nationally recognized for their work.

                    Sorry - didn't mean to say that they can't make their own decision. Just my opinion that the tights or whatever do look rather odd. I like the black pants better. Again - not going to change my life any....jmo.

                      The band plays only when people in the athletic department tell them they can play. The band does not decide when they play, other people do. Don't blame the band, blame the people in the athletic department.

                        I concur. Every time there's a band thread it reminds me how uninformed most people are, but that won't stop them from sound off anyways.
                        maybe I'll try to copy the band and bring my own tuba.
                        HA HA HA HA HA HA! TUBA! Oh, you get me! You are HILARIOUS! Just a riot. You really made my entire week with this comedic gem. Seriously, give yourself a pat on the back. TUBA! Haha.

                        My future profession is not a joke. Thanks.

                          You should come up with a new reply besides lighten up and don't hate on the band. i'm 25, not some old uptight guy. I brought up something I saw, this is a discussion board, maybe you should lighten up.

                            Sorry that this became a discussion about the band in general, Marc. I was just questioning a couple of people, not the value of the band or anything like that. It's been great hearing the fight song at full tempo this winter.

                              Amen to that.
