+1 on this comment. You are one of the best bands ever!! Your performance at Universal Orlando was awesome. You came "in uniform" as opposed to PSU, prepared to play and just blew us away. Your performances made the trip worthwhile despite our sad loss. Thanks again for being the best band ever!! Thank you Dr. Wickes for 30 years.....

The band is great. I love our band. The major this year was terrible at home games. He could never keep up with the downs, would play into very important downs for our offense. Would have to cut alot of songs out half way through because of his own mistakes

Also, the basketball games have been very nice without the "pep" band there

The band is awesome.

As a 1982 alum, I absolutely love the interaction between the band and the students.

Livin' on a Prayer is classic.

But nothing in all of college football beats those 4 notes.

Actually the songs were cut short because of the increase in the amount of advertisements and announcements by the marketing department this year. So if you want the band to actually be able to finish songs, complain to Athletics.

One of the better things about the bowl game was I got to sit near the band (usually in the SEZ). That was cool.

They were their usual awesome selves. Those who claimed PSU's band was superior lost me on that. They were ok but no match for TGBFTL.

If only our team rocked like our band.
