Intro for Mustangs - idea for new tradition.. maybe?

[Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex]

As an MB'er from '89, you are dead on with the chant being "forced" upon us. It was a bad fit now and then.

Funny, my wife(who is also an MB'er from that era) and I had a conversation about when the band first started doing the chant and how much she dislikes it. I told her that it is one of the few things about Mustang Band that I thought was completely out of place. Glad to know that I wasn't the only one.

Obviously, many bandsmen/women from that lean era think alike, and have an interesting perspective on traditions.

Yeah, I was a '92 guy, so not too far after football came back. I can remember them teaching this chant to us and going "huh?" Of course, I was a good freshman and went along but I have never been a fan of it.

The band alums DO buy tickets. That's probably 1/4 of the season ticket base - band alums.

[ontheedgeofmyseat]

Nothing like a "new tradition"...HA!

[Statler]

Guess what buddy,

Your chances for me to buy you a drink at the Overton just went down again.

1. You are a gelding guy.
2. You insulted band people.

That's two strikes ....one more and no "soup"....I mean no drinks for you.

[Mestengo]

Stat.... In my best F major 7 voice I say ------ I play the keyboards and have for 30 years.
I want a beer and a shot. Because I am freaky.

[Diamond Girl]

There are no keyboards in the Mustang Band.

[Mestengo]

1)video/music
2)shoot flames straight up from each side of the new score board that are so large you feel the heat in the stands
3)fog machine that fogs entire field
4)players run onto field
5)shoot a cannon at kickoff that is so loud all the windows break - opening up the stadium club as it should be

No disco ball ?

Someone suggested we have a no band members sign up at our tailgate ha ha .

And about half the posters on ponyfans.

[Mestengo]

Couch are you a band guy too?

[RGV Pony]

since we're on band talk, and we're playing Tech, I'd like to once again point out that the Tech band stole its name from LSU's band, which IMO along with Notre Dame and Tennessee are the best college bands (of those I've seen firsthand). The Golden Band from Tigerland/The Goin' Band from Raiderland. Cute.

Anyway, I hope the Mustang Band has 8 tubas/basses. 10% of the band needs to be the big boys. See LSU with their 32 tubas.

Go Ponies.

And to think, Stallion's somewhere in the caribbean missing out on a chance to say "this one time, at band camp.."
