I believe they wore cooler clothes for this game and not the standard uniform

What does this have to do with playing an instrument?


Think son.
I promise there's a brain in there, just use it.


JK but football BANDS are playing during football games. They're also marching around football FIELDS, carrying heavy instruments like sousaphones, and usually wearing hot, heavy outfits that are poorly suited for 100 degree days

If anybody knows about band uniforms you know they can be excessively hot even on a freezing cold day. Multiple heavy layers of (often wool) plus a hat and often gloves. Ask someone who does marching band. Band uniform will keep you toasty even on the coldest day.

I was in marching band. And will confirm it was always hot as frick wearing thick uniforms performing at parades in September and October. Not to mention some of the instruments can weigh a good amount. The instrument I had probably weighed 10-15 pounds. But nothing like carrying a big arse tuba, bass or snare drum. I had a lot of respect to anyone that has to lug those things around. We didn't have to wear gloves. But did have hats made of leather or some other hot material. Our pants were black, and made of some thick material. Our director was pretty strict. Everyone had to wear matching black shoes. I didn't have black shoes, so I covered mine in black tape. Some parades we performed at every year had to be at least a mile long.

LSU fans got mad about it when Brian Kelly was their coach, so it was banned. Then he started losing and got fired and now it's cool again.

I was at the Parkway vs. Dunham game on Friday at the Independence bowl. It was leg one of a double header so it was a 5PM kickoff. It was noticeably hotter in Shreveport than Baton Rouge. Multiple Parkway cheerleaders fell out and had to be taken to under the bleachers to rehydrate. I know, CSB, but the heat is no joke this time of year.


It's not telling what the wet bulb temp for that game was. I'm sure it was at the very edge of safety if not over the line.

Football is not designed to be a Summer sport.


A few years ago when my kids played club and high school soccer, they always played a tournament in mid August. Then our high school switched associations and it moved their high school soccer season to start in August. It was unbearable! And that’s for the parents! It’s WAY too dangerous to play in that kind of heat in Mississippi.

I think part of it is acclimation, or lack there of. But when I was growing up 80/90’s I also don’t remember playing football games in 100+ degree heat. Arkansas early season games were always 7:00 pm kickoffs. We suck now so that’s out of the question with the stupid TV contracts.
week 1 game my senior year 1982 it was 94 degrees when we took the field at 615
