Band Question

[Gray lizard]

Has anyone else noticed that the bands are now playing during play.  I thought they had to stop playing by the snap of the ball.

That's the guidance Mr. B... Here's the wording from the AAA handbook.

6. (c) Bands are not to be used to disrupt an opponent's game. At football games bands and any
component thereof (e.g. drums), shall not play when the opposing team is inside the opponent's
twenty-yard line moving toward or away from their own goal.

[whippersnapper]

Depends on the band director and football coach. When I was in school we would lower our volume if we were in the huddle. But as soon as it was snapped we play normal. When on defense I made it my goal to be as loud as possible to mess the other team up. False start, bad snap etc.

Gray you one trying to keep Scarlet Regimen from Joe T and Dover? They showing up, can have some control or LET EM GO.......I say let'em  do what they do. Hooten follows the book, sad schools requesting extra groups from coming.  Should ask Coach Price not to bring the Lizards.Problem solved.

Dardanelle has a VERY impressive band

[cuckoobird]

Dardanelle has a VERY impressive band

I agree

Dardanelle has a VERY impressive band

The SR is a great example of doing band the "right way"

[WPWells]

I was in band in high school, so I know a little bit what to look for. Last night I went to the Region VIII marching assessment and was very impressed with all bands I saw except for one. Won't mention who that one was

[SUGARTOWN]

I found it strange that the Riverview band stood on the track in front of the home bleachers last Friday night and played for almost the entire 3rd qtr.

I guess no one complained, but they sure didn't "tone it down" when the Ricebirds had the ball.

No my son was in the band at Dardanelle.  He is still very active with the band.  I texted him and Clay said no school the Friday they play Dover and band will not go to the game.
That is a bummer but they can not make the kids attend if no school that day.  You know some would not show and mess their program so he has no choice. A band with 134 people make a lot of noise.

They have a Awesome band....and I was impressed with Malvern's band as well this year!  Love Band Halftime Shows!  Southside and Greenwood's band did great this year too.

so, does this mean that some of the football players may miss as well?

You know that is not the same thing. Band and football are two different things.  Band director can not force students to attend if no school that day.  I realize it should be the same but it is just not.

Sure they can. Make it worth a grade and if they do not show they get a 0. Stuttgart does this including the Saturday contests.

[/quote]aren't band competitions on the weekend? Do they not show up then?

[Jack1990]

I remember going to many events on Saturdays and days when school was out.

They got rules about Band  but I never seen these rules enforced.  We always ramped it up when I was playing FB in HS.   The Clarendon Band would be so loud the other team usually got a IP or False  Start.  The school my Daughter attends got hushed 2 years ago in a game by the officials but that the only time I seen it.

The rule needs to be changed so the refs can enforce it instead of the school administration...imo.. i have never seen a school admin enforce the band rules..

And they definitely won't enforce it against their own band.

They officials can throw a flag if the band is playing when the opponent is inside the 20. Usually they do it after a warning kind of like a sideline penalty.

Usually if the band is being loud when their team has the ball it is quickly followed by a dialogue from the coaches in sailorian.

i personally have never seen an official throw a flag against a band. I have not read the rule in a couple of years but i know it used to read that it was up to the school admin to enforce the rule not the officials.. the rule may have changed since i read it..

I thought I remember this coming up on the Officials board in the past and they said the same thing.  It was up to school administration to enforce it.

Pretty sure in 2010 when Mena went to Dumas this came up. Mena was driving inside the 20 then on 4th down lined up to kick the field goal. Get a false start and Mena coaches called down to the HC to let him know the Dumas band was playing at the time. Well the penalty was still enforced. Mena makes the field goal that would turn out to be the difference in the game. The refs I am pretty sure talked to both coaches and told them to get an administrator to make sure it was enforced.

I always like seeing all the football players that play in the band at halftime, two of the starting offensive lineman for Clinton play the tubas in the band and both are really good.

[WPWells]

One of the Charleston players not only goes and plays his trombone in the halftime show, but he has a solo

odd...it's been a long time ago, But Hector had one thrown on them for unsportsmanlike conduct because they were playing while the other team had the ball....Guess I can finally chalk that one up to home cooking..

[WPWells]

Band interference I thought became a rule about 6 years ago. First time is a warning second time is a flag

Hector had it called back in 07 or 08 at Cutter Morning Star, no warning or anyting just a 15 yard penalty. Our band had 20 people in it, don't think they were loud enough to be interfering with anything..
