John, consider the band that Clarkson brought to St. Paul last spring.
They were very enthusiastic and loud, yet they were at only about half
strength.  Had their entire pep band been there, they could have rivaled
the Wisconsin bands that have played at the WCHA tournaments in St. Paul.
What you say about Minnesota's band is, alas, true.
