Schoellkopf Field to get new video scoreboard

Yes, when the band splits up and plays from different sections, there is an element of "hey, look at me, I'm showing off." Still, it's entertaining.

It's annoying, distracting and self-absorbed. No one but the band (or perhaps some of you band alums) likes it. I'd take 1,000 clap meters before I had to hear annoying blare of trumpets serenading each other across the stadium without regard for what was going on in the game.

I think some band traditions have arisen from all the years of football mediocrity and needing to make their own fun at games.

I live in Atlanta, and both the Georgia Tech and Georgia bands split up and roam around the stadium right after halftime.  It is just something that "real" marching bands do.

It's Atlanta.  They're foraging for food.

Hmm.

For the sake of ECAC hockey, this was a band practice, not a game at Brown, right? There is nobody in the opposite stands.

The only time I saw them skate, it was after a game, and it took them a while to make their way to the ice and lace up.  Even though it was announced during the game, most fans at Brown leave before or immediately after the final buzzer.

Ding, ding, ding!  Some games are best appreciated from the top of the Biotech Building.

I have seen them skate under those circumstances, after the game, in their band uniforms.  They were bad musicians and worse skaters, but IMHO it was a very cool thing to do and I wish they'd continue the tradition.

At least it doesn't have any flying animals.

[RichH]

Yes, but can anybody tell me where I'm supposed to get on my feet?

Needs more Space Bears.

ETA: also, what's with the students walking around campus Charlie Chaplin style?  Does that inspire people these days?
