are we still saddled with good ole' "Latin flair" Roy King as Director of Bands or has someone who can tell the band to play louder like the good ole days wrestled control from him?

I know we've got 43 days but I'm damn curious.

ABSA, the coolest thing about our badass band is former members can come back every homecoming and march/play. You can't do that as a football player. Very cool tradition.

Well I would sure hope not. Nobody wants an 85 year old great grandfather putting on pads and trying to tackle a division one athlete.

When will the band actually play an entertaining halftime show and not Broadway hits from the 50's?

Take notes from Ohio states band.

Where did that humorless woman who was there since the 1980s land after she left in a huff?

Linda Morehouse right?

Eta I waited on her at least once a week at tcby back in the 80s and she never cracked a smile or so much as acknowledged she recognized me.

Love these threads. Since there is nothing to shite on during the summer for the most part, let's shite on the band today.

So, Roy farms out the band director duties to the band? When did that start happening? And do the woodwinds get a vote?
