pretty soon there wont be any band
yeah... just something like this
Or this:
pretty soon there wont be any band
How 'bout we start playing "Schitty Deals Done Dirt Cheap".
You know, in honor of Jeremy Foley.
Alex.
Have you ever sat directly behind the band before? We did for one game 4-5 years ago. You can't hear the band at all! It's really weird. Because you are behind them, you literally do not hear ANYTHING! It's like they are a silent mime band. For the UT game a few weeks ago, we were next to their band, could barely hear our band because of it.I can assure you that Thunderstruck has been played this year…though I can guarantee it’s been right before the first kickoff like in the last few years.
They’ve replaced Suwannee with “You are my Sunshine” because of course they did.
Jaws is still present.
Music on the PA overpowers a lot of stuff.
I am sitting behind the band at LSU so I’ll see up close what’s going on. Also, if we win, I’ll be the dude screaming “Play Neck”. Because F LSU.
lol okay you must've has those faulty Army earplugs and suffered hearing loss. I think there's a class action suit you can still get in on, I'll fwd you the email. ;)Have you ever sat directly behind the band before? We did for one game 4-5 years ago.

I'm laughing about my hearing, but I'm talking about being centered two rows behind the tubas... you do not hear them AT ALL. It's very weird, almost disturbinglol okay you must've has those faulty Army earplugs and suffered hearing loss.

I've sat there before and no way is the band "literally silent" when you're behind them. But yes there is a remarkable difference between being "sheltered" from the noise behind them vs. being in front of them with the horns blasting at you.
I never went to BHG before my first game as a student, and remember being annoyed to realize that when that the band was facing the alumni side (which they did for most of their halftime performance), it was much harder to hear them. Never noticed that in high school because I was in the locker room during the halftime show.
Are you talking about You Can Call Me Al?
Yeah they started playing that song at basketball games first, but it qualifies as a signature Gator game song because the title is, "You Can Call Me Al." As in Albert?You can call me Al is a basketball song that the band started playing at football games not that long ago so I don’t think it qualifies as a signature song for football.
I hope Fuchs face doesn’t cancel it too.
There you go. Always defer to The Elite Kids.™@G. Gordon Gator
UPDATE: after consulting Sons #1 and #2, it MIGHT be my hearing.
As I sit here quietly thinking about it, the tinitus high pitch tone is SCREAMING in my head right now. ;)
That's awesome! thanks for the smile.There you go. Always defer to The Elite Kids.™
I get spammed with that class action continuallyP.S. Here's that link! Go get you some of those 3M millions.

I stayed pissed off for a long time when we quit playing On Broadway. Little did I know that eventually all the tunes and ditties that were Gator trademarks would either be dropped or somehow fade away. I will never get over Fuchs and the wokies spearheading the removal of Gatorbait. The same people that made this decision probably buy Ken dolls for their male children at Christmas.
