LHB moves to SEZ for 2008

[STLHornFan]

NEZ: expensive seats up close with super-suits just itching to buy them, already going to be loud just from the acoustics

SEZ: cheap seats, good place to 'corral those rowdy student types' who insist on being *gasp* loud, would also be great photo-op section for touchdowns, acoustics as a bonus

Seats where LHB was: pricey enough to replace LHB with blue-hairs

Yeah it would be awesome to put the LHB in the NEZ rather than the SEZ, but I don't see much of a reason for DeLoss to turn DKR up to 11 when there are decent spots for the Band elsewhere and he's been hyping these new seats for two years.

Besides, I think it would be awesome in the SEZ was just for the LHB and students. It could be a loud as hell endzone on its own.

As a member of the band, I am disappointed that our seats are moved, but I do like the fact that we will be heard more.

I also totally agree with SMD_Horn as well (Congratulations!).

I have so little sympathy for the band. Many good fans can't even afford to make it to more than 1 game a year if at all.

 

[vtaenz]

Interesting comments. Most other schools really get behind and love their bands.

Where will the freshman students sit? I will be attending UT next year and was wondering where I will sit.

You dont sit you are busy getting drinks for upper classman..

who pays for the UT band to go to games? Just out of curiosity.

 

[UTuba]

Money comes from the university and the band itself: a mix of the band student association, the band fraternity/sorority, and LHAB. As far as I know, LHB has been off of the sports budget since before the 50's. As far as the proportions, I got no clue.

 

[Mageeman]

^^^Actually, I was under the impression that we were still funded through Athletics and the majority of our budget (ie travel) comes from them.

 

[UTuba]

There was an article on here about "spirit" budget a couple months ago (Texas had the largest). Maybe there's a link to it there, but the impression I got was that after LHB switched from being in the AD to the school of music, it all changed.

As a resident of Section 102 it makes me happy that the band will be in the SEZ.

Hook'em!!!

Anyone who doesn't think that the band adds greatly to the game day experience is nuts, imo.

I like the move because I think more people can hear them, yada yada. However, I hope they can do something to "throw the LHB a bone" for all the hard work they do.

I love the Band and I watch most games on TV since I live out-of-state. So I look forward to seeing more of the band this season during our many scoring drives into the SEZ.
