and with it comes Cheerleading
and Marching Band
only this year the music dies.
TAPPS has passed new rules that limits the band from playing while the ball is in play or when a player is injured. Therefore, the band can only play before kickoff, at half time, when there is a touchdown and when the teams exchange possession of the ball. If the band violates these rules, the football team will automatically lose the game.
The Band was given these rules right before the first game on Friday. It was the night the music died. It was the most quite football game I have been to. In the fourth quarter the band started playing music by stomping their feet on the bleachers and singing. It sounded louder than if the band had played. It certainly got the crowd excited and cheering for the band. You know how musicians are, they will find a way to play with or without an instrument. Saint Pius X won their first game on Friday and on Thursday, 9-6-12 ESPN-U will televise the game. Hopefully, you will get a glimpse of my son Mathew playing the Tenor Sax.
Are you planning on going to any High School games this year and is the school band being limited in their play time?
