Texas Bowl. Where's the band?

Getting tickets for the game last minute. Anyone know what section the band will be in? Searched TD and the bands FB page but couldn't find anything. TIA....
Gotta think they dont want to give up a lot of draft capital & any move would be pretty small. I like Crowder and Cooks of the names I've heard. Was looking at the box score from the AZ game last night; Andy Isabella can't even get on the field over there. They might take a 5th or a 7th for him....

It’s a beautiful day at Barton Spring amd the scenery is top notch...
Yeah, an old nerdy reservoir engineer I worked with. He got his ticket laminated and kept in his wallet and couldn’t go half a day without working it in to some conversation & pulling out his ticket to show everyone. JFC he was insufferable. ...
Been a while since I’ve heard the story, but my dad’s buddy said The two of them and another guy did it in the early 70s. Jumped in around algiers point and made it across somewhere around Mereaux where they were warmly greeted by a few St Bernard deputies and other various LEOs. Didn’t go to ja...

Someone hit the nail on the head earlier... these high-achieving suburban high schools prepare you exceedingly well for a (in state school) that will likely be ...
