The Ole Miss marching band will be changing its pregame routine again.
Athletic director Ross Bjork said Friday that the university will provide a pregame show that will appeal to “all fans,” one without any form of “Dixie.”
While many fans might scoff at the new measure, I applaud it.
It should be noted that the Ole Miss band has played only a portion of the song since it rightfully scrapped “From Dixie With Love” in 2009. For those wondering, that song simply was a slower version of “Dixie,” which no longer represents the majority of students and fans of Ole Miss, nor most of the inhabitants of the state of Mississippi, of which I am one.
