Re: The PRIDE IS BACK! (FOR NDSU)
So you guys would rather have the band play for 1 football game in Nov then to play in the rose bowl parade? Kind of selfish of you to think that. What a great opportunity for the band and school and your still pissed about it? Get over it. Oh and the comment about the band leadership, if not for those in charge this school would never have had a marching band as good as you see. Honestly you see a band of over 300 members where with the school size it should be bout half that. What would people be saying if the last game of the year was against William Penn and we never had a shot at winning the conference? Honestly most of you wouldn’t be at the game either. The football team say in the last 43 years really hasn’t given us a reason to be there or think otherwise until the last season or 2. Some make it seem like it was a bad thing that the band had to get ready for a major trip to the worlds largest parade. Do you know why the band picks the rose bowl to play for? It’s because they can reach hundreds of millions of people and give them a little flavor of SDSU that you would not get else where. It’s not for the band to boost its own ego like i'm sure many of you think. They had ideas for the band that would have been more fun for a trip and they chose the rose bowl to get SDSU some more national exposure. It’s not like the football team will be making it to any major bowl games to get some publicity where the band has that ability. I think there are plenty of SDSU supporters who were extremely proud watching the band in the rose bowl. Did any one who was upset with the bands decision boycott watching um during the parade?
Second the band has to use its members to start preparing the concert band and pep bands. If you didn’t realize or care, but it’s the same members who are in the marching band who make up the concert band that needs to practice for graduation and pep bands play for basketball. If you want, i’m sure McKinney could get a good 150 members who are not involved with any other activity out side of the band and use them just for a marching band. of course they shows would not be nearly as good or impressive but for you stubborn alumni who only care about their way would get a marching band at every game. I hope in time you guys realize what jerks you have been. Now I think my rant is over.
