I know that a lot of people do this anyway, but one day I would like to see "Glory to the Green and White" sung  A Capella by the home crowd.  The band could do it's usual intro/lead-in,  and then the crowd would take over from there.

As neat as that would be, I don't think there are enough people that actually know the words to the Alma Mater to make it work.

An air raid siren would be an interesting thing to do. Maybe have a fan chosen from the crowd to crank it up at the start of the 4th quarter. If another school has that already then disregard.

UNT had it during the Dodge days.

Great idea.

So, how did the GB do? Did they wow the Troy fans?

Not even close.

Its my suggestion that we approach the dept of music and ask they give us a football marching band...and if they refuse then uninvite them and create a new band that operates under the athletics umbrella.

Did that for awhile at Fouts. Don't remember why we stopped. As I recall, it was more along the lines of team taking the field, not tied to a particular point in the game. Those with better recall can help me out.

EDIT: I read a little further and saw this has already been answered. Nevermind.

SMU’s football band is associated with their athletic program and not associated with their music program. SMU has a good music program, but their marching band is lacking. I’d hate to see that much of a drop off at UNT. 

What is the actual complaint against the band?  Has there been any formal communication with the band?  I would think communication is the key. If the music department thinks all is well, then they’ll keep doing what they’re doing.

If you attended the N.O. Bowl game you would have seen the VAST difference between a band that is there to promote school pride and spirit..(Troy).....and one that treats their halftime show as a stage event..(North Texas).

The stage performance is wonderfully performed by the best musicians around and would be great.....ON A STAGE.  We already have that over at the Dillo dome.  They are called the symphony and concert bands.  

What we're lacking is a band geared towards promoting pride and school spirit called a FOOTBALL MARCHING BAND.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
