I asked Mike Buddie and he said they are preparing for a competition. I didn't ask but I sure hope the competition they are prepping for isn't on Saturday.....apaladin wrote: ↑Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:50 amYep but I still betcha the end zone seats will be mostly empty and there will be plenty of seats in the student section. . BTW where was the band last night???????? A huge game and no band? Only at Furman. If it's a matter of money I am sure many of us would kick in a few bucks to get them there.
(7-18) VMI @ (21-5) Furman Feb. 16th

True, we have 15 home games in bball plus the SoCon tourney and 5 or 6 home football games on a good year (that's not asking to much)
The band will be performing at Carnegie Hall next month. Probably the competition Buddie was speaking of... As a former basketball band member, I will say the band loves to play at all of the games but they usually only schedule 6 games for the men and 6 for the women. You can bet that they will be at the Wofford game for Senior night if they are not present this Saturday.

And that needs to change, they need to be present more often as they are at major college hoops games, might as well be

Lol yep, FU will finally make the dance and the band won't be there, sounds about right
Kinda like how Wofford, ETSU, UNCG will have good student support in Asheville at the tournament and FU will have none because we apparently refuse to change spring break to fall 1 week later, typical
Scheduling the band for 6 games out of 15 or so is ridiculous. I have always thought the band and cheerleaders were supposed to be there to support the teams. At least that is what it looks like at most schools. I guess this is not the case at FU. Betting they are a no show tomorrow too. If they are practicing for a whatever a month away is missing 2 hours really going to make a difference a month in advance.
I'm no spokesperson for the band but I am pretty sure they try to go to most of the conference games and a couple in December and November. Also have to get to a few girls games. Basketball band isn't required like the marching band is. It is a bunch of volunteers. Maybe the administration should support that group more?
Does anyone know if we are close to a sell out yet?
Seems like it might be, if you check the ticket website all they list for sale are 2 handicap tickets
