I saw MTU's band at the WCHA Final Five last year and must say you did have a lot of fun. What was that march you play for power plays? it was very effective. I am curious about this traveling rule. Minnesota usually send down it's cheerleaders (not this year though) to the Wisconsin game. They usually don't do anything because our fans wouldn't be very nice. What is the point of hockey cheerleaders, anyway? Let them stick to the ice capades. The Wisconsin Varsity Band is traveling to the away game against Duluth on the 19th. It is in Milwaukee, it is a "home game" for Duluth. It is hard to rate pep bands, especially ones that just form for hockey and ones that come from big time college marching bands. I have seen Minnesota (not very good), Maine (not very loud and they played "On Wisconsin" and "You've Said It All" to get Wisconsin fans rooting for them, don't do that!), LSSU (had a good tuba player), BU (Where's Waldo?), New Hampshire (smelled like fish :-} ), and MTU (nice slippers!). I must say the fans in Albany where really nice to us last year. The band got a big round of applause after our last song there. I never saw that for a hockey band before. The Wisconsin Varsity Band does a lot of cheers directed at the away team. This year they moved us from the glass to the nose bleed seats behind the goal, this makes it real hard to be an intimidation factor. I remember SCSU players trying to climb over the glass after scoring a goal against us. They must of thought are comments about them were inconsistent with their play :-}. We are also not sitting by the student section now. I think our new seats have destroyed the affect the band has on the game. We don't get payed and most of us really care about the game. Now, if we can get them to quit scheduling basketball and hockey at the same time. Brad And ON WISCONSIN!
