[QUOTE="plangineer, post: 659795, member: 3592"] Not a band alum but did play in the orchestra in high school. I think the copyright laws are the underlying reason. (I believe) directors cannot pick songs off the internet for free, but have to pay for the arrangements, rights to play them in a public setting, etc etc. I'd wager the same songs are picked because (1) they're cheaper to get (2) they're well known / fit well in a football game setting and/or (3) there aren't a lot of websites/companies that provide sheet musics/rights.
