Sounds like good news to me considering we are not playing Kansas.

Actually, I care. That's too bad that the band can't make it.... Does this mean you'll be at SDSU?

Kansas' band could have probably learned our band a lesson or two:

Too bad for the band. I am sure Kansas State's band will do a sufficient job entertaining me.

You all are jerks here, wtf.

I'd prefer if the band was there. They give the Dome some energy with the student section, yes there won't be as many students at KSU game, but still. KSU expected NDSU to give some of their allotment to the band and NDSU expected KSU to give them some exclusive seats, both teams oversight that screwed some great fans out of tickets.

would have been nice to have your band along. most big12 schools send a 'pep band.' once in awhile, they'll send the whole outfit - kansas brings there's. nubbs used to as well. aTm was always the best though. enjoy the soldier boys parading around like it was 1935. but anyway, too bad yours won't be making it.

That's basically what happened with the GSMB not going to UNI the first time. And why NDSU/SDSU stopped sending their bands to the rivalry game.

That really sucks.

What does this mean? It seems to me NDSU will have more fans at the game since they didn't give any of their allotted tickets to the band!

The band is just as loud as any other fan....I'm not sure where you are going with this.

Louder, I'd say.

Too bad.

"Putnam’s leadership was quite dynamic and the band thrived under his direction. This peaked in 1923-24 when the band as an ROTC unit earned its third consecutive 100 percent inspecting rating, which entitled it to a presidential citation and a “Gold Star” rating. Putnam incorporated the moniker into the band’s name and the Gold Star Band was born. Following Putnam’s death in1944, the band’s numbers deteriorated until former Gold Star Band member William Euren became director in 1948. Euren restored the band’s pre-war numbers and worked toward expanding its persona beyond its military role."
