You know, everyone keeps mentioning the Latina flair and earth, wind, and fire... I remember sitting in that stadium before he was director (from 2002-2006) as a student and also having a Latin halftime show, and also have a Motown show that featured EW&F. How come no one gave Wicks a hard time about it? The disco one was also pretty boring and Wicks did that almost every year.

i would be very interested to see a comparison between a Wicks halftime (2009 or earlier) and a Roy halftime (2011-2015). I'll see if I can find videos, when I've got time to do it and am not on my cell phone.

None of those halftime shows pre-2009 were Wicks. Yes he was director of bands, but Moorhouse was responsible for all of the performances, choreography, drill, an musicality we performed over that time.

Roy was in charge on 1 show per year. Wicks was there for comedic relief

I have firsthand experience with both Wickes (actually Moorhouse) and Roy shows. You'll notice a pattern of "easier" (i.e. "boring") shows when there was only a week between home games...
