$40K? I fee like he is telling a lie! Remember something similar happened in 2015 when they couldn't travel to Elon. Its a matter of priorities, and the GW game isn't one. Guess it all comes down to it being a budget issue.

Guess it all comes down to it being a budget issue. They have the money, the fool said supporting the football team and fans isn’t worth $40k that was already budgeted. They are upset because they can’t perform a 7 min halftime show lol

This whole thing is kinda embarrassing. Especially when the players comment on it.

The band has very strict rules when it comes to playing during a game which he spoke on. Something about 20 mins.

From reading his responses, seems like they would rather spend that 40k elsewhere.(along with not being able to perform during HT)

Considering the band gives out minimal scholarships and doesn't have a recuiting budget , I think band competitions are very important to the BGMM. But I get it. Nothing else matters on Saturday but football. The marching band exists to play at football games, nothing more. If the band isn’t going to support football why even have one? That money can be used elsewhere… Now you're talking...the band program already feels slighted by way of funding; Do you think they will increase their funding by doing things like this... ? Next year they will be asking for support to get to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl parade from the very ones that want them at this game. Sometimes we gotta learn that one hand washes the other...other words to get a little you have to give a little.

This guy makes a lot of excuses!!!! And they make zero sense
Who cares where the money comes from, the marching and pep bands exist to support athletes and entertain A&T fans at athletics events.
No football or basketball and there is no band!

GW plan is working to perfection we are all focused on the band showing up even the players, this is what moving to PWI conferences gets you if we were still in the MEAC the opposing school would embrace us bringing the band and be ready for a football game and band brawl I mean I guess we can say welcome to the CAA I see a lot more of this in the future.

I don't appreciate the arrogant response as if they are dangling a carrot in front of us...but, they have been performing every weekend by choice....nothing was mandatory!!! A championship football game and they are talking junk about why they are not going...just not smart. You have to be careful...you never know who you could rub the wrong way. Again...JUST NOT SMART!!!
But at this point, who cares? As much as I love my band, I won't kiss anyone's behind because, they are on a power trip. The more you ask for them to go, the more you will get arrogant responses like that.

I agree and the current band staff are mental midgets that would lose a war to win a battle. If I’m Chancellor Martin I call Dr. Ruff to my office and tell them they are going…he can quit the job if he has heartburn 🤷🏾♂️

I dont think they expected me to engage is a serious discussion.
The fact that he admitted they had $40,000 already budgeted for this game but that the kids were not really excited about a football championship and they want to rest says alot.

I've read all of those responses and came to one conclusion...THE BAND SHOULD BE AT THE GAME.
