Amplified Band during the Game

[Connor]

Did anyone else who attended the game notice or feel that the bass of our band was amplified? It was not always the case, but it sounded like lower chords on an organ being played- probably placing mics near the tubas.

I really liked it- it made our band sound much more intimidating and fulfilling in the stadium- you could feel it! It seemed like a noticeable change

There is a sub-woofer underneath the SWARM section. That started last season I believe. I feel it/hear it every game.

@Andewa interesting I've never noticed it before- good note.

We sound add more...

Hope this isn't any kind of NCAA rule violation. If so we will have to give up 10 schollies and vacate every win from 2014 on...

I thought I noticed the same thing with ND band

ND had speakers behind the visiting side playing full sound (not just base). I believe it was so loud due to the speakers that it made our players head hurt. Someone needs to measure the volume for safety reasons.

I liked the change of not having to hear that band announcer scream into the microphone.

No matter what game you are watching on TV, the band is barely noticeable, but if you watch a TECH game - home or away - you can hear the band play consistently throughout the game. I think they are fulfilling their purpose in helping the audience cheer consistently and get riled up. I sit above them quite often and can't hear them as well as others in the stadium, but I'm glad they are playing constantly.

I don't think it would be an NCAA violation because the woofer only plays when the band does.
