Counterpoint: Let the band mix it up!

Related Topics: Musical ensemble, Fight song

Much like CoachJF, who laid out his case for hearing For Boston more yesterday, I, too, love listening to college bands. And also like CoachJF, I love our fight song, and think it’s one of the best in the nation.

Unlike Coach, I don’t think it needs to be played 30 times a game. Why not let the band mix it up?

I can’t watch a Michigan, Notre Dame or (ugh, don’t even get me started) Oklahoma game without thinking “tone it down with the fight song already.” They all have great songs, but sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder.
