Too bad that they don't show the half time on tv anymore. Now we have to listen to a bunch of talking heads.

You asked for something, here is the picture from the game.

I was there, they sounded good but it was difficult to hear. Wish they had it miked up a little better.

sure was fortunate for the band members that they were able to attend a great game and Bears' victory for FREE & over the dreaded Packers on Monday nite no less, right?

They deserve the bennies.

Does anyone have video of the band at halftime?

Yeah, I had the same experience. We were in section 224 in the south end zone and could only hear the drummers for the most part. They were obviously playing to the east and west stands most of the time.

I guess I'm just not used to it since Huskie Stadium doesn't have end zone seats anymore.

It was great to see the NIU band at SF, though.

Pretty sure they jam them in a small room during the game, I don't think they actually get to see much of it.

I wish our band was bigger so we could hear them better in bigger stadiums, oh well. they sound just right for huskie stadium

i was there too, in 326, and honestly the acoustics in SF are HORRIBLE for marching bands to play in... only heard the reverberations, if i was lucky to hear them at all; all the sounds seemed to fly out of the endzones into nothingness...

at least they looked really sharp. i was going crazy for them and got weird looks, lol

You go girl and thanx for representing.

I wanna hear the band perform more upbeat tunes at games like those from past Huskie CDs including "Jump on it." {Apache}
