Have you gone to a D-1 football game where the band still plays? It is a big part of the game. i.e. Gophers games, the band is awesome and there is a feel about the game you get hearing the drums play. You obviously have not played at the collegiate level, let alone the high school level when there is a good high school band playing. Ok, now you are going overboard with trying to get rid of the cheerleaders now! Come on, why not get rid of student managers too!!!? That had to be a pretty ignorant statement for someone who has a master's degree!
When you say "in" You tell me what is in, from your extensive knowledge and experience, John Mellencamp? I don't think so.
