Belmont @ Furman Nov. 11th (Mid-Major Showdown)

[FU Hoopla]

As a former member of the Furman band, I can assure you that no one on campus supports Furman Athletics more with their time & energy than the Pep Band & Marching Band. But sometimes - like last Friday - they have other engagements.

Perhaps our Football and Basketball teams should be required to attend Furman Band concerts.

Easy solution, have the band concert last Friday 11/4, then no conflict this Friday for Belmont game, its all a matter of being on top of scheduling, that goes for both departments Band and Athletics working hand in hand together

Agree, the concert could have been held another night much easier than moving the basketball game as it involves anorher team.

Concerts typically scheduled a year in advance. Basketball schedule comes out in what? September? It is too bad there is not more scholarship money allotted to the basketball band to increase their attendance at basketball games.

You answered the problem right there.
Concerts scheduled a year in advance, everybody knows when NCAA basketball starts so get the concert in right before easy, then the band basically gets to play 2 'concerts', win win for everyone.

Was the game with Belmont an official sellout?
