Then I'm guessing the Lowndes band will only be only 100 strong in the Baze...LOL. Colquitt is getting some ideas..... Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetlarry Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Being totally honest, lowends band was THE most effective thing they had last year in the title game. The QB1 is gonna make a helluva SS in college though! Great athlete! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdosta just trying to make them some money unfortunately they have been losing money for years now. I only know this because the ad told me. Many games that had to go into their budget just to pay the ghsa because they didn't sell enough tickets including home playoff games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngdawg Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 @HooverOutlaw For all the jokes you make about band, hear this: a football player texted me and thanked me and the band for being loud at games. They said they would have lost a lot more if we had not been there. You're welcome. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdostas use to but they have declined in numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year at Vestavia they refused to let the Hoover team buses unload at the school the team had to carry all the gear 1/2 of a mile down the road to the field. The equipment trucks barely made it in time before they locked the entrances down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowndes isn't vengeful like that we know they need the money but they will talk them down off of what they proposed they kind of already have.

StAllThewaY Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Funny because St Thomas has never had a good band and fans never really get too loud or cheer. Players have to rally themselves. Sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think this is surprising. Look who's is running the school system. Same ones that fired a good coach. They weren't even going to let bands play. Stupidest thing I have ever seen. The band makes the football game. Especially Lowndes band. The atmosphere at this game is like none other. Glad the got it changed. Lowndes by 28. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCGIII Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Heres a better suggestion. Leave the bands at home for the rest of the season.Some could use the extra practice.And benifit from a red shirt year.# Extend halftime to 30 minutes, and enjoy a one quarter jv scrimmage. Hells bells sailors, there aren't enough people in the stands for most games for the band to get them pumped up and fired up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there will be a few empty seats with Covid and all but not many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus69 Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 It's a little confusing. Colquitt hasn't taken their band on any away games. Nor have any visiting teams brought their bands to Mack Tharpe. Seems to me...it would work the same at this game. Rufus>> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngdawg Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 A lot of people misunderstand marching band. As a 4 year member and section leader, I can confidently say that we don't give a damn what the crowd or others think of us. We perform because we want to showcase what we've worked on. To hell with a crowd reaction. There is so much good behind the scenes that makes football games obsolete. I joined band for football. Now, it's hardly my second or third favorite thing about band. It's a win-win for us always. We love playing music on Friday nights. And if people enjoy it, great! If they don't, we could care less!

ngdawg Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 @JCGIII I tell ya what, there's nothing like having the band blast music when the other team is backed up on their own goal line. We play behind the endzone and the number of false start penalties and delay of games our team forces is amazing. I actually got scolded by a player my freshman year because we missed a playoff game to perform in the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Chicago. That game was against Arik Gilbert, Harrison Bailey, and Marietta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
