Great job FMB!

I had a very nice time and your performance was fantastic. I special shout out the cymbol players: You were a LOT of fun to watch!

Thank you for the hospitality.

Great to see you all you old guys there today ;-) Though I am disappointed, there were no tootsie rolls passed out this year, isn't that a tradition?

Thank you all for coming out. It was great to see faces that I hadnt seen in a while , as well as those like Prams who just graduated (finally) this past spring.

i definitely had a great time. I totally miss marching band alot! and it's only been a year. LOL. I think the most fun i had was getting to go back and pay with the fmb during the second half.

The show was amazing! I enjoyed it very much!

I sure with the FMB would play at least one song for the east stands. That isn't the VISITING side, just the side that a few visiting fans sit!! :cry:

In our defense we don't play to the west stands either. We play to the south if anything. Our Drum majors stand on ladders and we watch them so we usually don't face one way or the other with any consistency. But I'm sure that this will be read by the right people and worked on fixing

I believe they were referring to half-time...not when we were in the stands

Um...he isn't saying play the entire show to the east stands...besides there's a "box" on the east side...it's just not the press box. Besides at least my first two years (I think) at least for homecoming we had played one song to the "visitors" stands

As far as I can tell, so long as we can't consistently get more people in the East stands there probably won't be songs played in that direction. I wish we would play the middle song in every show to the east side, I always feel jipped when I go to away games and don't get to hear the band play to my side.
Yeah right girl!

I think the tradition of playing the middle song to the visiting side ended around the same time as the tradition of playing the visiting team's fight song in pregame.

If you sit on the visitor's side for the game, and you want to hear the band at halftime, then walk around to the other side of the stadium and listen while there are empty seats from people going to the restroom and the concession stand.

Yes, I did. It was only broken when I was marching. It kept slipping off of my lip. I had to stand still to make it "go." :-D
