Lighten up, blue hairs. Their band was one the best parts of the game.
Indeed, their band was really good
What that has to do with the other points being made here I have no idea
Playing during plays I believe is against the rules, and playing loudly during our home game spirit squad celebration was rude, show us some respect too, like we did for them during their halftime show
Them being good, like many other bands, is beside the point in this case
HBCU bands come to battle. That's a part of the HBCU Gameday experience. There was no disrespect meant by The Juke.
The band shouldn’t play after the offense breaks the huddle and lines up.
I couldn’t care less if they try and drowned out a band but if they’re trying to create false start penalties or delay of game penalties then its over the line.
Nothing says #TwoAmericas quite like this statement. That rule is followed loosely to say the least at HBCU games. The bands are a part of the HBCU experience. Because it may be different from what you're accustomed to doesn't make it rude.
If there were times that the band shouldn't play then schools will usually send the band director an itinerary during the week just like Memphis did to notify Southern that they'd only have 4 minutes and 15 seconds for half time.
You are barking up trees where YOU don’t understand who you are barking at or even considering that they understand the bigger picture but even with that bigger picture found some things untoward
There are a LOT of traditions that are nonetheless rude.
Rebel flag waving. You like that?
Calling people boy or N word. You okay with that?
Just good old times and just southern tradition will scream the defenders
Bottom line, EVEN IF it is a tradition among HBCU bands to play during plays and to play over the home team band while their spirit squads are doing their signature show and even if that same home team band and home team fans showed tremendous respect for the road team band
It is not right
I am a pretty dam progressive person, but such intractability like you are showing hurts legitimate causes
Don’t defend doing something rude based on tradition unless you are prepared to defend it all
In THIS case, it was wrong
Bands are part of a lot of college traditions, not just HBCUs.
Your idea that anyone is interpreting different as rude is way off base and condescending in a manner that perhaps you don’t understand based on your different experience
I am done with band gate. An overwhelming shout out hedged with a mild comment is met with this unwavering asinine nonsense
We DO understand. YOU don’t.
Done
