Summary - Evangel kickers warming up at halftime while Haughton's band is still on the field. Haughton cops come out onto the field and shoo Evangels kickers off. Lots of people are coming down on the kickers for being disrespectful of the band. A few comments mention that the band performance was going long and this happened with just a few seconds left on the halftime countdown clock. Personally I don't think the kickers were were trying to be disrespectful of the band and probably though they had enough room to warm up without interfering. On the other hand, they probably should have thought through that decision before they went out there, or maybe asked their coaches to ask officials for a halftime extension if needed. What do yall think?

Damon Duval says the band can get bent.

It's always the kickers who try and do this crap. They think they're way more important than they are

Why were cops involved?

That’s a game official or school administrator issue.

The state marching band championships were this week, so a lot of schools were doing their competition show during halftime last week. Lots more props and movement and longer than an early season halftime show. Haughton finished 15th out of 19 in their classification yesterday.

The high school bands are out of control. Seriously. They think they own the field and 3,000 people are there to watch them and not the football.

Save your festival crap for your own time and let the football team warm up.

Sounds like Auburn in the 2001 LSU game.

Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day, the music died

Man I remember back when I was in high school band if we weren't off the field by the time we were supposed to be the coach would come out screaming at our directors. If the opposing band went too long which happened all the time we'd just stop and run off the field if we had to

I can get downvoted but I don’t care. High school bands used to share the field, about 8 minutes for each band at halftime. But now the home teams refuse to let the visitors play so the home band can bring out all of their dumb props and play Alice in Wonderland or some crap for 18 minutes by themselves. Save it for the festival and be a polite host and let both bands play a short show.
