By marching bands is all I want to hear at a college football game.
@DerekJohnson does the marching band even play @Tequilla anymore in Husky Stadium? In the 3 home games I've been to post Covid and moving to Wakanda, I can't recall.
Piggy backing off @DoogieMcDoogerson 's recent main board thread here…
This trend towards rock and hip hop in the stadium is vapid, soul less crap. And the acoustics are fucking terrible and rape my ear holes. Marching bands sound so much better acoustically.
Give me some marching band All Right Now all day long.

I send an email to UW after every game I attend to tell them to turn their shitty music down, stop playing shit between every snap, and let the game breathe a little and bring COLLEGE back into it.
No response, ever.
 
I get they are desperately trying to get people beyond the lunatic fringe and under 40 into the stadium but holy hell the music was bad for the Colorado State game and it was blaring up until right before snap a bunch of times. I wonder if they were trying to cover up for a mid environment, given the opponent. It's not needed.
My boomer season ticket holder dad called them a handful of years ago to complain on the phone and got someone he specially complained about them playing Pit Bull, and sang you know that one song that goes "ohh aaaa oh aaa oh…don't stop the partay!"

Who are you emailing? I will join your campaign.
I'm dead serious about the acoustics. It's fucking terrible.
IFL love listening to Jimi on high fidelity analogue gear. I HATE Jimi in Husky Stadium.
The marching band is live music which sounds good in a college game environment.

I find it amazing that anyone can identify the song they are playing. The band facing north then south followed by east and west so you normally get 1/4 of the sound sucks - plus the fact that a band playing a popular song that was originally a drum set, keyboard and guitars just doesn’t sound good.
The only song I recognize is Bow Down and Louie Louie
 
From '81-'86 my dad and I sat in the south side upper deck on the goal line. The band was behind the Husky bench at midfield, playing right at us. It was a huge part of the special stadium atmosphere from those days. Its a feeling that doesn't exit anymore when you're blaring Eminem

Well the caveat is back in the day it was Bill Bissell's band playing Angel in the Centerfold and Fat Bottomed Girls.

Great songs for a marching band. I love the Husky Band playing Fat Bottomed Girls.
 
Brock Huard says that he wants the playlist from Autzen Arena for his morning workout.
 
Are they still playing this? My wife would always question me when they played it, apparently due to a wry smile spreading across my mug. My response to her was always “A long time ago, in a land far away”…I probably saw the Crazy 8s 20+ tims bitd, shitfaced and looking for fun…

Yes
 
I know this is a boomer take but nothing they have done beats the band playing on the field pregame and then going to form a line at the tunnel for the players to run out and then to the band spot on the 50.
Bissell always put on a show pregame and halftime. They didn't have the big numbers but they were lean mean fighting machine
Oh well flashing lights and 30 year old music is cool too. I guess

Funny how all the gen-x and millenials here agree with your boomer take.
Make College Football Great Again
 
With regards to gameday experience, the demographic UW is currently attempting to cater to are people that can't even afford to go to the damn games.
 
I’ll take the band over anything being piped in, Party in the USA makes me wanna spew up my $12 Coors Lights. I don’t recognize any of my seat neighbors, this post Covid group looks like they came from a posh country club event dressed to the nines, don’t watch the game, take selfies in their UW gear and split after halftime. I’m sitting there w/ my receiver gloves, 91 natty gold chain, Billy Joe Camaro Jersey and cargo shorts. Place has gone to shit
