The children are directed by their leadership, thus my comments are reflective of the leadership not the students (same with the players). Nevertheless, your comment factually inaccurate...they put on the full uniform at half time only in game 2 which I assumed had to do with their performance welcoming the high school kids. Before/after they wore like overalls or whatever with t-shirts. Weather doesn't seem to matter at other schools...its super hot everywhere in the south and clear ponchos seem to work for everyone else in rain. This isn't a new issue. For clarification, the band uniforms are bib overalls, with tee shirts and jackets on-top - I believe your issue is that they were not wearing their jackets As a side note, maybe you would like to try wearing a full band uniform, on the field at Ray Jay, in direct sunlight, with 80+ humidity and 95 degree heat, before casting aspersions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't even get the band to actually wear their uniforms at a home game...it's by far my biggest issue with attending the games in person. Just so painful...we are only as strong as our weakest link and this band is so bad. I don't see how showing more of something so bad would be good...I also don't think that even if they were amazing that would help in any way. Such a bizarre comment. Said differently, my disdain for the band is even stronger than my eternal disdain for USF athletics leadership (until they appropriately right their wrong). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are also missing the funny hats. We don't have the funny hats and instead wear ballcaps. Sometimes you see people on the big screen with all kind of random hats, but not the normal funny ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to be "traditional". To my knowledge, HOT does have the shakos (or "funny hats" as you call them). Theyre not the only marching band to don baseball caps in uniform.
