Yep, it's Cowbell. It used to be played between the 3rd and 4th quarters of every game, but that started getting inconsistent in 2006, when the number of ads, presentations, and other scripted announcements started increasing. That stuff all takes time, and has to go in because somebody paid to have it in, so band stuff like Cowbell started getting knocked out of "normal" timeslots and wound up getting squeezed in whereever it might fit.
As a band alum and music department grad, I'm excited about the excellent reports I've been hearing about Mr. Smyth from both students and faculty.
A valuable lesson for all to learn: Don't give band people an opening to talk about band stuff. They will not stop voluntarily.
Drumline contest?

In case anyone's curious, our talking-to pretty much consisted of:
- We'll assume the kid was out of clean shorts.
- Lesson learned that you never know when you're being watched/filmed.
- Don't do it again because he has better things to do with his time than read emails from alumni whining about a pair of shorts.
Mr. Smyth is awesome. :yes:

Did he adress the ENTIRE band about this? Because that's awesome. Also I hope that kid feels pretty sheepish.

I like Alumni whining, the director should be making that kid run laps (with his tuba or whatever he plays) through water up to his shoulders.
Aggies for sure (though Jsmith wins with Aggie Band).
Aggies are cultish. The band just likes to drink, and occasionally do a show.
The computer software said it was impossible to be that cult-like, but they designed an organization that did it anyway!
The fact that you were able to work this very obscure level of trivia into the thread is impressive. I feel annoyed that I know the Aggie band well enough to know what you are referring to.
