December 9, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, DFW Horn said: Having officiated TXHSFB, I concur that the halftime performances are too fucking long. They're only supposed to be 25 minutes, but almost ALWAYS run over, especially with the 5A and 6A schools. It's really bullshit - no offense. Just do a standard marching routine at halftime of football games. Save the theater and props for band performances. Maybe the schools can sell tickets for that, too. Or not....(too cynical?) I can agree with that.
December 9, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, BrazilHorn said: I get bands practice on parking lots, I understand it is hard work, I have been to the last couple of years of games where my son plays and the band hasn't finished on time once. Add in fact that both bands perform and it is a mess. I have no issue with bands performing, it is the set pieces and staging that adds so much time. March on field, play march off. The scope creep of what band performances are today is symbolic for the creep of everything getting over the fucking top. It is not necessary. It is a HS football game not Austin Lyric Opera. Agree here too. and fuck aggy to stay on topic
December 9, 20232 yr Popular Post Some of y'all don't know shit about bands. For one thing, a HS football game isn't sacrosanct. There is a halftime. Bands have always played at halftime. The halftimes haven't gotten appreciably longer. Your problem with the show style makes not one tinker's damn to the band directors or the kids or their parents. Most of the shows you're railing against are modeled after a higher level of marching (drum & bugle corps) and you can enjoy it or leave. Nobody gives a shit if it bothers you, it's not all about 45 ctj meatheads getting their pseudo-alpha male jollies out by running into other pseudo-alpha males, none of whom are gonna play college ball and many of whom are gonna commit date rape within the semester. What a bunch of blowhards. Edited December 9, 20232 yr by jimmyjazz

But apparently UT-Austin leadership is a liberal junkhole deep-state now? Da fuh? noCR, but I can't for life of me imagine where Aggie fans get their inspiration to just mope around in public and online and blame the deep state and the media and other politicians for their lack of success. Claiming victimhood, witch hunts, being exploited and targeted unfairly. When all the while their entire lack of success and vitriolic levels of stupidity are the fault of nobody but themselves. Wonder where they could have possibly picked that up as a strategy? Some people need to finally notice that the only constant in every failure or loss in their lives, the consistent recurring factor keeping them from success and victory, is themselves. When you finally accept that in sports, politics, or life itself...it can actually be very cathartic and liberating. I mean, you still suck. But at least you can let go of some baggage and die with dignity.

December 9, 20232 yr Good HS bands can be very good and entertaining. Agree with the scope creep. Back in the 80's hs bands were kind of required to have at least three different shows to get through the season and not have the administration call bull shit, not to mention homecoming etc. (Fyi hs band guy and Longhorn band guy). Well, by the time my oldest started hs band in 2003 it had become the ridiculous phantasmagoric production you see today. Not only that, back in the day the directors would write the show, and that was before there was any software for it etc. Now, the parents have to fork over hundreds of dollars in "membership" fees in order to have a show commissioned and consultants for color guard and percussion just for their kids to be on band. I had many a discussion with the band director over the flaws in their business model, but he wouldn't have it. I had season tickets for years with my friends from LHB and I can't think of a single halftime show that we watched. Aggy sucks.

December 9, 20232 yr I'll add to this--why the hell not? No one in the entire stadium but the band cares about the band. Not even band members' parents, at least not after the first performance of the season. The band goes in front of a stadium of people and then does something purely for their own enjoyment. Basically, they jack off at midfield and then pretend you're a philistine for not enjoying it.

December 9, 20232 yr This post is as unnecessary as halftime band performances. I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever watched one, personally. If someone in a group I’m with is ever espousing “let’s stay in our seats for the band”, we’re unlikely to ever see that dipshit near our seats again. I remember the band dorks would tell us how much harder they had to work than we did as athletes. Nothing is more eyeroll inducing. Oh, you have to hit your marks and stay in tune while walking? I have to run full speed at other angry males and then we beat the shit out of each other for 3 hours before I go home and do homework. GTFO. I also never saw them during basketball and baseball season as their upperclassmen got honors credits for their dumbass 3 months of “hard work”. It’s a fucking grift, really.
December 10, 20232 yr Smoked green beans +/- bacon are awesome....an upgrade over the usual blandness. Just adding Italian dressing (and bacon) kinda gussies them up to the point where IT MIGHT be worth choking them down. Don't care for green beans w/ French fried onions. I mean on a desert island w/ no other provisions, ok , but otherwise straight to the landfill.... Edited December 10, 20232 yr by El Squared

December 10, 20232 yr 5 hours ago, Texas Jeff said: Band performances are 5 mins to get on the field, 8 mins to perform, 2 mins to exit. Max 15 minutes. That's the UIL rule. And that's at the end of the season when they know the entire show. Earlier in the season it's less than that because they only know half the show. Add three minutes for the drill team's performance. That's not a lot of time to ask during a three hour event. Also, in Austin ISD, most bands practice on parking lots. They have no access to turf fields. The shows they do at football games are important because being on turf is totally different than being on asphalt, and the competitions are all on turf fields. You can see this in the first few games of the season where the kids are all over the place on the field. It may not be your thing but it's important to the kids in the band and they are students at the school, enjoying their high school years. 11 minutes ago, El Squared said: me thinks he is going full "Spinal Tap" there (for those who saw the movie) Spinal Tap went full Robert Plant.

Hell, mtv offered them a reality show, but the school board shot it down. Back to the ‘famous’ part, they’d fly all over the us to compete and won every time. Their director made sure to find competitions where they were the only team in their class. Instant ‘world champs’ ! Edited December 10, 20232 yr by tx 3 putt
