NOTE: If any current band members can forward me the email / notice y’all received saying you can’t play, please forward it to me so I can post it.
It has come to my attention that our own band, the Spirit of Gold, isn’t allowed to play at our own Homecoming this year. Of course, this story has already been picked up by media sources, and since it’s hilarious to people outside of the Vanderbilt family, we once again are made to be the punchline of a joke.
The alleged reason for this decision is that Vanderbilt invited the Tennessee State University marching band to play at the half.
