Band and Cheer Stuff

[mchammer]

Before the game the Longhorn Band was trolled unmercilessly all over social media for being put up in the highest furthest part of Bama Stadium.
But pay attention when you watch the replay you will hear the LHB loud and proud all through the game
And hearing the Eyes at the end as all players coaches staff and fans there sang was awesome.
Hope someone can post a vid of it

Hook'em LHB

I think ESPN mic’d it up that way.

Really wish we could return the traditional favor at the end of the game: Hey BAMA, we just beat the hella outa you!

Surprised but like that they did.

I could hear the Texas band throughout the game.

It was great wasn't it?
Since they were so far away maybe ESPN did do that
OR maybe the LHB did it
Either it was great to be able to hear them

The benefit of the band being so high in the stands was that the final playing of The Eyes of Texas sounded like it was coming from heaven.

I think it’s kind of par for the course at a lot of D1 schools for the visiting band (if one makes the trip) to be stuck in the upper levels, and for only a smaller traveling band to make the trip rather than the whole cohort. There are exceptions, of course. I’m glad that the full LHB and OU band perform at the RRR (of course nowadays they are seated (or standing) behind the end zones, but that’s better than the alternative).

Part of the faux outrage from Bama and other SEC SEC people is last year the Bama band did not come to DKR because they objected to being high in the corner.
I think most of the big 12 schools place bands in similar locales. BUT Texas does have the biggest stadium and high in the end zone is higher than most.
What I can't find is where Bama usually places visiting bands. I find it hard to believe they get 30 yd line seats

Are you saying our cheerleaders are a 10 out of 10?

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

As are theirs - thus the tie.

Allright!

Somebody gets it...

From Tuscaloosa:

I think we'll soon be entering the conference of cheerleaders roughly equal to ours.

(not sure about Miss St, or Ark; and not OU; and obviously not aTm)

Unbelieve-a-bull! Cops stop Nebraska man with bull riding shotgun in his car

Bevo found a new ride to games.

aTm's cheerthings don't even qualify for the contest.

I’m impressed that the LHB didn’t even need supplemental oxygen at that altitude.

 

[Horn6721]

GJ
Is Bama's stadium higher than DKR?

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

The capacity is slightly larger than DKR, so it stands to reason the upper reaches are roughly the same height.

So I was watching Frasier last night on Paramount Plus and caught this episode that includes the classic tune that inspired the aggy war hymn - (from Season 6, Ep 2)

They're getting pretty bored with Baylor football...

Pretty vanilla program, but likely planned that way to prevent any of the Old Band Geeks from dropping to the turf in the heat! More than 500 there for the 60th anniversary of the LHAB. (No, not including me - too old!) Hook’em!

I signed up to march but bailed out on Wednesday when I saw the forecast for 95 degrees. Didn’t want to melt in the upper deck. Instead I got to sit in the shade in our seats on the west side with my wife, sister and brother-in-law. Enjoyed seeing my old friends from Alumni Band on the field. Maybe next year…
