K State Halftime Show nsfw

Me gusta mucho el Band but their insistence on playing 1920s jazz at halftime is becoming a little Rice Band-ish. Help me out; is it technically very difficult to play and march to or something? Does it give us cred in the marching band community?

Were you at the game this week? They played two current pop songs

Solid music selection by the band and the DJ for the PA this past Friday

The Mustang Band was the first college marching band to play jazz on the field, so it will always be an important piece of the band's identity. That being said, as noted above, the halftime show featured current music last week and has been doing so fairly regularly for the past few years. I mean, last year they played a freaking Megan Traenor (no clue if I spelled that right) song.

An appropriate mix of current music and jazz classics is a good thing. Our band is unique and is one more thing that connects the generations of SMU fans and sets us apart from other schools. The same thing with having a Shetland pony mascot, wearing Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue, and walking through the Dallas Hall rotunda at graduation. Like all families, the SMU family has traditions that some members don't care for - but getting rid of those makes us exactly like everyone else.

I was entertaining my 2-year old in the bounce-house area on the hill...come on, they chose "fireball" because it converts into their jazz-band style, not because it's a huge pop hit. The question still remains, does our style give us band cred? We seem to have trouble recruiting players so my guess is not.

They have trouble recruiting because band is a middle class activity and much of college bands are music majors or people there for scholarship or guaranteed tickets. We are weak on middle class students, the music school discourages, not requires participation, scholarships are negligible, and the team has been truly horrible for 25 years.

DEEP Purple's Fireball always a great choice.

Gotta love bands getting schools in trouble. Back in the sixties there was talk that Yale would merge with Vassar. Needless to say the stem on the "Y" tried to get busy with the "V" and of course all manner of horror ensued. Or Rice making fun of Revelie's funeral by playing "Oh where or where has my little dog gone". Bad taste by college students, is a given.

The fine was a joke. Why even punish them at all if that's what it is?

Exactly why KState does it. They know with a purple kitty in the Governor's chair, they can get away with anything...for now.

Could you imagine the $h!t storm if the Mustang band did something like that?

I wish they were so bold. They are too sanitized. Ask yourself why EVERY band that comes through Ford causes a ponyfans thread about how they play through huddles, during plays, etc. Maybe we are the ones doing it wrong, not them.

This!

The Mustang Band has its own traditions and sound. Let the Rice Band be the provacateurs. Our band can keep pumping out great music as far as I'm concerned. No one wants to change the Aggie Band, or the Longwhorn Band, or the Red Raider Band.

Glad to hear them play more current music at the last game.
