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 need to rest says alot. Chancellor Martin needs to step in and make them go! These kids being on the road was the band staffs choice

If I were you, I wouldn't continue to engage him because, all his responses will be more of the same. And to be gas-lighted by him isn't worth it...

I've read all of those responses and came to one conclusion...THE BAND SHOULD BE AT THE GAME. The responses are arrogant...PERIOD! Aimed to gas-light the alumni and fan base...the same fan base and alumni that they will be reaching out to for support to go to Pasadena next year this time. Just dumb.

The band flew to Houston to play for 15 minutes ๐๐๐
But playing 20 min in NC is a waste of time ๐๐๐

It's amazing to me how WE do man. Now, if the alumni were to ask a JSU, Southern, FAMU or BCU to play at a championship game...do you really believe that's how their band staffs would respond??? These are the programs that we want to be recognized with...Think about it.

Do you know how Deion would react if JSUs band chose not to travel 2:30 to a championship game because they canโt play at halftime ๐๐๐

Playing in the stands is a "chore":

For him to say you don't deserve a response is stupid and unnecessary because, he did, he responded. So, that's gas lighting.

I can't respond, because I don't want to come off as "bashing the program." I HIGHLY doubt that the students would be mad about not being able to perform at Halftime. It would come across better if he just simply said "We don't want to go, it doesn't benefit us."

That's what they join the band for, to travel and play when called upon. Now, they don't want to...they're tired. I mean I was born at night...not last night!

This whole thing is kinda embarrassing. Especially when the players comment on it. The band wasn't at North Dakota State or Robert Morris either

What's one of the biggest differences between this game and those previous two?
