NCCU is also known as NC A&T East campus. So I only see 2 away games. Tell that to the bus company when we have to rent 5 buses for the trip.

So now you're going to get very few band songs and those short snippets of a song on first down. It's finally happened, Aggie Stadium has become as dull for us band heads as most PWI stadium.

When did they start playing hip hop music on the loud speakers during the game?
What is the point of having 300 kids with instruments sitting in your building when you are just gonna waste numerous stoppages in play with pre-recorded music?
I think all music in Broadway Stadium should come from the Machine; not a DJ.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Halftime hasn't shortened any. We're normalizing to sustain and get better. If the band can adjust while maintaining their legacy it could be something spectacular

I was sitting with the students the other night with my son. They played a Chief Keef song and they went crazy.....including the band. Believe me, the band ain’t long in the face when they play music over the speakers....

I prefer live music in Broadway Stadium, DJ music in Club Corbett.
I dont see why the Machine gets all dressed up and goes through all the pomp and circumstance of entering the stadium when they are only gonna play 7 minutes at halftime and a total of 3 minutes during the actual game.

If this is the case than they should have gone to both AL and ECU, just saying.

I think it is universally understood that Dr. Ruff mismanaged the band's travel schedule this season. I believe all parties can now agree on that.
Next year I am thinking about forming a Civilian Oversight Committee to review the Machine's travel schedule/budget requests and make sure they don't have a repeat of what happened in 2018.
It's takes a village to manage a marching band's travel schedule. We all need to do our part to help them make better decisions moving forward.

You got one of the nations best marching bands in the stands and you're playing 15 seconds of recorded hip hop!? Not only do I hate the recorded music, the band is restricted from playing over the recorded music. The band is now "told" by someone upstairs when they can play and when they can't. That's why lots of times there was silence in the stands. Hey, I get the commercial...we need the revenue but who's paying us for the recorded music? You guys complained about the "Game Zone" and I didn't...you guys complained about the "stop and frisk" security and I didn't but this siht is bad! Let the band play! (You can start the "I told you so" comments now!)
