I can't argue that, and it's not a fair argument anyways because I'm sure that donated money was probably donated to the football team/program and was never able to be used by the band or someone else.
However, bigger/better band hall theoretically means bigger/better band and bigger/better game atmosphere. Everyone loves to bag on the 'small, different band' but then gets up in arms at the thought of anyone other than the same 50 band alums donating money to the band. Just some food for thought.

I really hope the move to the BE is a boost for the band and not just a drain on what seems to be limited resources. I mean seriously...the band is like the only group on campus that has to beg for $3 million for a new building. If there was the right kind of push from the right people, the band would have their building funded and whatever other resources they need.
Its much more important to transform the locker room into a strip club than it is to upgrade the decades old band hall/natatorium basement.
Locker rooms attract recruits. Band Halls do not.[/quote] +1
