Music Observation

Postby Rebel10 » Sat Nov 14, 2015 11:35 pm

Seems like most of the time when a timeout was called especially when the visiting team called timeout that the band played instead of the DJ playing music. It really killed the enthusiasm. I hope that changes especially with Yale and Michigan coming to Moody. Just an observation.

It took 60 minutes for our first game presentation complaint thread. That's a big improvement.

I agree. Maybe it was because it was the first game or something but it really killed the enthusiasm of the crowd when the band played.

As long as Shake and Jarrey are suiting up for us they can play country music for all I care. But please don't play country...

I just hope it gets back like it was when Moody first opened. That was the best.

It was great but the guy in charge is now at the University of Cincinnati.

I must be way out of touch with some of you cool dudes - but I actually prefer the band
and the use of students to play their instruments. I have always been a fan of the
Mustang Band and I think it is a shame that they are relegated to sitting on their
instruments instead of playing them.

Let the piling on begin. I can take it.

It didn't match conference play of the first year... but I thought the game presentation including music was miles ahead of where it was for non-conference last season.

On a side note, I love the limit of the number of timeouts. Less breaks in the action. The flow of the game was much better than it was most of last year, when the other team would call timeouts every 2 minutes to kill momentum.

Last year during breaks it seemed like it was a long, sponsor driven activity followed by the band. This year, the band didn't play at all during the first two breaks, it was all DJ. I didn't track it after that point, but the band played more often in the second half when it was a blowout. I thought it was an improvement over the first game of last season.

How about the scintillating player intro video? First year was awesome and then dud. This one is going to wear thin after the 3rd viewing.
