How many stayed for the halftime show? The tribute to UNT Jazz was absolutely brilliant! Especially the "scat" performance by one the keyboardist. As I told "Fessor Cook" in my e-mail, Ella Fitzgerald would have been very proud of the young lady. If anyone comes across a youtube of the overall performance, they should post it. 

BTW I didn't miss the dancers as part of the performance.

i didn't miss them either...i liked how the drumline actually moved away from the 50 and still had their fun times on the field...the scat chic...nah, i'm out on that, but i understand why she did it based upon the music.

Jazz at a college halftime is a poor choice in my opinion, regardless of our school's tradition.  My 12 year old daughter was less than impressed with the music selection and border line pissed with the absence of the dancers. 

 

We were impressed with the pregame though.

I did...and that is a change for me. I had completely stopped paying any attention to halftimes at UNT games, but that all changed this season. I now, once again, look forward to seeing what the Green Brigade has to offer at each home game. Now, while I am not a fan of jazz routines for football game halftime performances, it was in my opinion outstanding! The band actually moves and has interesting routines to go along with the music, and they march quite well...also in my opinion. 

So, welcome back Green Brigade! I have missed you. I look forward to another excellent performance next Saturday!

I don’t understand why the Green Brigade can’t do anything but play Wully Bully & other stupid stereotypical songs, in full dress, for ignorant fans.

Proud of our school’s Jazz heritage & proud of the Green Brigade!!

“Ignorant fans”? Huh?

If you can't appreciate jazz you're ignorant. We all know college football stands are full of jazz enthusiasts. 😉

Hmmmm....I see. Guess I am “ignorant” as Jazz...other than Dixieland...is simply not my thing. Oh, well....🤷‍♂️

If you can’t appreciate THE program that puts UNT’s outstanding School of Music over the top, and allow the Green Brigade to proudly play said music without complaining, you’re ignorant. 😉

It may be rooted in jazz, but make no mistake this was some straight up marching arrangements. It's not like there's changes or anything being blowed over, its still marching music. Which is apropos, by the way.

If any jazz musician heard you calling New Orleans trad Dixieland jazz, they would absolutely think you're ignorant.

This year version of the Green Brigade is substantially  better. 

The half time performance was excellent and you should be aware of that no matter what you think of "jazz".

What is marching music?  Those arrangements were anything other than the usual mundane performances that you get at most football games. 

I doubt they had twelve year olds as a target audience for this performance.   Don't fret though as you should be able to take her to just about any other game and see her preference in entertainment.

Without a doubt this band is more entertaining than the previous one. that is obvious. But target audience's are exactly what I'm talking about. Jazz misses the mark with any football crowd, even most of ours.

Actually, the crowd seemed to be very enthusiastic about the performance were I was.

Unfortunately, the student side of the stadium misses out on half time performances because they alway seem to be facing the opposite direction.

Naw....may be an “age thing”. Everyone my age knows exactly what I mean when I say Dixieland Jazz. So, I’m good. If that makes me “ignorant”, I am perfectly happy to wear that badge.  Used to go to a place on Mockingbird in Dallas that advertised “Dixieland Jazz”. So, I had a lot of “ignorant company” who were having as much fun as me. But, hey, 😉

I have no idea what you are saying. Polite about what?

I also just noticed the only one posting negatively about the performance is you.

I get it, you don't like jazz.  

I appreciate seeing and hearing something different from the norm. 

I also guess this is your first game, because they have played basically the same set with one exception at all their half times this year.   

The Band is obviously doing something right, I don't recall this much discussion about them anytime else on this forum.

We applauded because we were being polite. To you that might have seemed "very enthusiastic".  

Not my first game, I've witnessed it the other times too. Just thought it would be done by now.

I'm not shitting on the band either, it's done well like all of the music played by them, but it's not something most like to see/listen to in general, let alone a football halftime.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      Dude flunked out at UNT and ran back home to his mom in Houston and flunked out again, and trolls the UNT message board trying to act big time, because he's been run off the Houston board. Imagine how big of a douche you have to be that other UH fans can't even stand you.

      Nope from the beginning of this (end of College Football Alliance). It has all been about cut throat capitalism with the schools competing as individual business that happen to operate sports teams connected to academic institutions. Come on, you have Cal and Stanford in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The NFL stopped that madness as soon as they added franchises in geographic locations to fix that mess (Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals). College Football in comparison is going backwards. Imagine if the Los Angeles Rams and 49ers were moved to the NFC East because they were big markets like New York. 🤣. The same reason that NIL is a mess; not paying players will always be more profitable if your organization doesn't have to pay them directly and they aren't employees with rights and access to collective bargaining (Look up stories on the problems with the Gig Economy ie Uber, Grubhub and etc.) They should roll everything back to being in line with salaries for everyone in College Athletics being on par with academic administrators, professors and the players as amateurs getting scholarships and regional conferences. But we all know that all those people will not agree to take massive pay cuts (excluding the athletes because you don't need them to agree because the structure would be self evident the teams are not operating as if they are seeking profit). In this every conference/program for themselves model nobody has the desire or power to fix things on a macro level. And any entity that does will immediately be sued or have to allow for some sort of collective bargaining. 🤷🏽‍♂️
