[QUOTE="daculajacket, post: 256118, member: 941"] I noticed when GASO had the ball in the redzone, facing the band, the band did not play the third down song. For 1st & 2nd down, the band played and their QB could not communicate with the OL. On 3rd down, it was very quiet. Notably, on 1st & 2nd down, GASO could not move the ball. On their quiet 3rd down, they scored. I asked a band member why they didn't play and he said the Athletic Dept asked them NOT TO PLAY on 3rd down, because the band was playing over the PA and distracting from their cool graphics. Seriously? Basically, we can chalk up that TD to the Athletic Dept and their pathetic scoreboard & PA system. We do not fill up the stadium and we silence the 350+ person band, so that we can... wait for it... play PA music & display some cool graphics on the scoreboard. If you'd rather have piped in music or maybe just have the scoreboard flicker "Louder! Louder!" while a team on the other end of the field stuffs it down our throat, well, sit back and enjoy. If you don't want this, let them know. [/QUOTE]
