can I be the middle ground here, I think the band can pump up the team but indirectly... The band can get the crowd fired up which in turn can help fire up the team.

If I had it my way the band would be broken down like this:

90 trumpets
30 mellos
50 baritones
60 trombones
40 tubas
30 drummers
25 golden girls

That's an awesome breakdown (I'm a trombone player fwiw). As long as they kept tone quality and didn't turn into Southern 2.0

IMO at least half the band should be tubas and baritones

ETA: but productivity would be greatly diminished.

one day in practice LRM was yelling about the woodwinds screwing up some fairly difficult drill on game day in the IFF. She says, and I quote "woodwinds, let me let you guys in on a secret. No one can hear you anyway. Just get the drill down"

bengal brass needs to ax the personnel at men's games to the smaller unit they use at womens (or ax bengal brass all together until there are people in the seats)

Why punish the band for our shitty team? I'm sure they like getting paid to be there.

I'm sure. They should use that money and lure Rico Gathers back into the fold.
