Showmanship from a REAL FOOTBALL BAND

[SilverEagle]

Here I go again taking yet another shot at the Green Brigade.

THIS is how you do a pre-game entrance and get the crowd into the game. LOTS of energy and showmanship.

 

For everyone who watched the Macy's Parade yesterday, you saw their show for a national audience.

The day before they appeared on the Today Show.,

Notice that Matt mentioned that this is the THIRD time they've been in the Macy's parade.

They've also been in the Rose Parade.

Lots of ENERGY, PRIDE, AND SHOWMANSHIP!

AND, their uni's (which I really like) are almost exactly like the North Texas Band of the Maurice McAdow era.....from their hats, their capes, and all the way down to the spats that they wear. 

PLUS they make their big sound with less than 200 members.

Did you also hear their unified chant that had a beginning and an end?

Good stuff!

Set up an appointment and go visit with Nick Williams if this is such a source of irritation to you...I'm sure he would give you an appointment.

I've already had one conversation after the end of the last Tulsa home game. A dismissive "thank you for your input" was the response. Funny, he didn't ask me to make an appointment so we could discuss any other concerns that I might have. I've also had several e-mail exchanges that resulted in a "thanks for sharing your YouTube links" response. I've also made a contribution to the bands scholarship fund....and will again this year.

I think I've made my concerns very clear. And I 've provided ample visual aids.....including a video of a pre-Williams North Texas Band. 

You haven't been talked down to until you've talked to some prima donna from the school of music.......and you're not fawning all over them. I'm up to the challenge, but there would need to be a referee present.

Vote early, vote often. 

The band doesn’t take criticism very well as evidenced by the NT Daily article that was taken down.

No getting around the fact that the college of music is one huge prima donna.

I was really hoping this fan base would spring for a marching band banner but... said banner had to end up paying for its own way in Lubbock.

Shush, don’t criticize the band or else they’ll harass you until you pull your article. I mean comment. *cough*NTDAILY*cough*

Sometimes It’s tough to make people actually like football...especially when it’s culturally ingrained to either not care about it here or to absolutely loathe its existence.

My suggestion would be to move up north where more people care about marching band.

Halftime is for bathroom breaks, food and beer.

Clearly not aware of the marching band world.
