this band thread.  Cornell just came in for a game, and their band was on
hand.  They have got to be the best band I've heard, since I've been
involved with Brown hockey.  They sound really professional, get the
crowd into the game, have all the chants/cheers/jeers down to a science,
and are loud, which makes our band sound weak.  I swear it has an effect
on the team, which seems to crank it up when they do.  All colleges
should copy their program.
