The BOOM practices everyday...Monday through Friday from 6:00 pm - until. They start off in the F.D. Hall Music Center. They usually stay inside and spend about 45 minutes on warm-up. Then about an hour and a half on music. Then they march out to the field. Now they've changed the practice field. They practice over behind Blackburn now instead of behind T.B. Ellis. They will be out there for about 2 and a half hours Mon. through Thurs. and 1 and a half hour on Friday nights. Then they go back inside and spend about another two hours on music.....
I am true football fan and always have been. But without the bands the game would not be the same.

True Mach.
But the songs he's speaking of did not start when the QB went under center. They started during timeouts and breaks in action....they sometimes carry over to the next play though.

Just a thought.....If you are walking along...on your way somwhere and someone calls you name, do you take a few more steps as you stop to see who it is. ... .. . . not because you don't want to stop, just because it's comes naturally. It like a reflex
You got that right. The game would be so much better.

Me and Dances went to the Mississippi State/ University of Houston game last Saturday. It was like night and day from the JSU game we saw eariler. The bands from both schools actually acted like they had a purpose for being there. They pumped their respective fans up by playing little "mini-riffs" (not whole songs) during dead balls, and once the play resumed, they shut the hell up. It was beautiful. They actually enhanced and built up the game action instead of taking away from it.
This was an prime example of what a BCF game could one day become if we could just do something about all these arrogant band geeks and their grandstanding.
My eyes have seen the glory. U of H has shown me the way.

One other thing. Why do you bandsmen feel that you have to show your superiority with threats and invitations to fight??? Internet tough guys. Inviting my man to come to your band practice to face down 200+ horn toting people. That's real tough.
Dude, there will be umpteen bands in that place. To be fair, how many people do you think would show up if they had a football battle that included the teams from the exact same schools the bands are from???Originally posted by GoodFella
If you all want to see how much pull a band has come to Jackson this Sunday. Im willing to put money that 40- 50k shows up in Memorial. Any takers??? name your price.....
If you dont want to bet, stop crying. I hate to see grown men beg and plead, its sickning and a signed of weakness. If you want to complain about something that matter, complain out the coach......
Dude I woudn't talk trash and step to 200 midgets at the same time. How da hell would you expect someone to step to that many 18-22 year olds with horns.Originally posted by "NOISE TALKA"
Robber,
GR acted like he was sooo pissed. You would think we lost. I said nothing about him fighting the band. I said he should address the band if he had a problem with it. That's all. Other people made statements that questioned the BOOM's fighting abilities or the lack their of. That's stupid to me, but i figure the only way to tell if the BOOM can or cannot take someone is to step to them and see.....

So now everybody is paying to see the bands play and not the football game. I coulda sworn that when the games end, 75% of every damn soul in the stadium leaves. The other 25% hangs around and watches the BOB. Bands do bring a lot of fans, but don't be naive enough to think that JSU has averaged 30,000 plus fans because of the band. I think those 10-1, 9-2, and 8-3 teams had a lot to do with it.
People go to the games for different reasons. It's not all about football, just as it's not all about bands. Some folks go just to see who they can see. Some go to hang with friends or frats/sorors. The average 30,000 at JSU games are NOT ALL sitting down watching the game, like you probably are. A good percentage of them are walking around to be seen!
When I go, I go for both the team AND the band!
Y'all don't think all them folk that flew or drove to Houston went because the Boom was going, do you???
Of course not! :lol: Some people drove/flew to see if the Tigers were going to win their FIRST game of the season in the conference!
