I'm writing an editorial column for my local paper and need some marching band/football quotes (i.e. "what's the football team doing on the marching field?") please help me!!!
When asked why our band didn't play more "fight songs" during the football games, our director told the superintendent "the band plays when the team scores. Maybe you should take that up with the coach." (The ball team didn't score one touchdown that season). I am now a band director, myself, and it is still one of my favorites.
I have a T-shirt that says "If you march to the beat of a different drummer, you are out of step."
"The football team will be performing before and after this evening's marching band show."
"If band were any easier, they would call it football."
"If color guard were any easier, they would call it cheer leading."
My high school band director also suggested that the school district build the new concession stand in the home team's end zone (since they never used that part of the field).
