HOT SEATING-HOME GAMES

HOT needs microphones and cut out the :30 music clips.

Bingo!  not sure where they would set up the speakers with the setup of RayJ, but here we have speakers in front of the student sections that play the band music... not sure if they go around the whole stadium or not

Ageed about the PA clips.  When HOT plays the first down music  the PA system playes "I'm Lovin' it".  There are many other times the PA playes over the band.  Quiet the **** PA system!

i would love to see HOT moved to the opposite sideline from where they are now.  it would help fill the crowd a little more.  specially since that is the "TV" sideline.

Did anyone think that the band at UNC was mic'd? Or was it just their stadium design that allowed us to hear them all the way in the corner of the endzone? They didn't look nearly as large as the H.O.T., but I sure heard them loud and clear.

I'm a little confused. I thought the east side WAS the TV sideline. Aren't the cameras positioned on the west side? And why move the band to where they are NOT playing to home side? I'm on the diametrically opposite corner (SW) of the H.O.T. and have no problem hearing them unless a big play just happened and then I BETTER not be hearing them because everyone around me should me making mad noise ....

South Endzone - Center

1 - add some noise to that side of the field, and it may encourage others to sit in the area and liven things up a bit. Therefore, creating "atmosphere" on BOTH sides of the stadium. Something that is lacking currently.

2 - Remember when Leavitt called the timeout, against UCF, so Benzer could kick into the "quiet goalposts"?

3 - There's more room to organize without the pirate ship in the way.

4 - Everyone in the stadium will hear them. Right now, the "visitors corner" and more importantly, MY section, can barely hear them.

i thought the cameras always pointed towards the USF sideline.  i could be wrong tho because i dont want any home games on TV because I"M THERE!!!

Wellll....considering that the band is currently 'reserved' seating,

and I'm pretty sure there are season ticket holders in the other

locales mentioned, how would you address that?

I am atleast on the same side of the stadium, I am sure people on the homeside def cannot hear it.

I'm on the home side about 40 yard line and they sound great from there....of course they are facing the home side so it makes sense. I have to say that this year I don't know what has gotten into them but they sound (easily) twice as loud as they have in the past.

• Good point.  No matter where you put a band in Jay Jay... it will be hard to hear.
  
• Mics are severaly looked down upon with College Marching Bands.  Only "small" bands like UM do that.
  
• If we had better attendance, I'd rather hardly hear us.  Sometimes you are just in a loud section.  
  
• Start an OCS fund now.  I wish someone in the university would start it now... even a few bucks a year is better than nothing.  Get a head start
  

Many issues to address.  None of them with great or easy solutions.  

The band still needs funding to even attend games in 2007.
