    The lines weren't straight? I wonder why I didn't notice?

    Good job band! I thought the band was much improved...although I didn't get to see as much as I'd have like due to long lines for bathroooms/concessions. I guess I'll put up with the long lines gladly if it means we have sellouts.

    Along those lines (sorry, bad pun) for those of you that saw it, what did ya'll think about the new way the band gets onto the field for pre game. I'm not sure what to think about it. Part of me thinks there was nothing wrong with the old way. The other part of me thinks that this is a new era - an era of change. Thoughts?

    I thought the way the band ran out on the field was good, I like the drum majors bending over backward. However I'd kinda like to see the band run out of the tunnels on to the field. Have the drum line march out to the 10-20 yard line then have the rest of the band march out of the bison helmet or maybe have the band march half out of the helmet and the other of the other side(the north west corner) I know thats kinda how Minnesota does it but I kinda like how they run out of the field. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEpbSZF9-E4 Kind of like this video, but have half the band run out of one corner tunnel and the other half on the other corner tunnel.

Good job GSB I could tell that your still practicing and working out the kinks(flag girls) but once everone gets their practice in it can only get better. Oh are they piping the music over the PA system? I think I'll be up loading some new band videos to youtube soon.
    LOVED IT! Being miked was great. Love the new drums. Would still like a little more volume.

    IMO the band seemed to have grown since last year. Are there more members this year than last year?
