Zips DM

All I got out of that article was that JT "wasn't sure if he'd be returning to the Colts next season" ... so he's leaving his options open.

Yeah they are traitors!

being musical while playing contemporary music is difficult because contemporary music is rarely musical to begin with... just sayin'

second verse......anyone?

Ever stand our Alma Mater,

Thank you guys for bringing a modicum of civility to this discussion.Believe it or not, the band is aware of the posts on this site, insulting or otherwise, and I think this forum is a great way to have your ideas heard. I can offer no guarantees that ALL of your comments will yield visible results (as I am not speaking on behalf of the band)... but if you have a good idea, and it is doable it will trickle up to those who make the decisions. Trust me. Comments from this site actually influence the band, just be considerate, and reasonable. Thoughtful and intelligent discourse is preferable, but if you just want to blurt out a song name or something, go ahead.Just be nice, because a lot of people put a lot of themselves into the band that you see, so it’s hard not to take things personally."...and that's all I have to say about that." P.S.

The tune is taken from the Cornell alma mater (entitled "Far Above Cayuga's Waters) but they took their inspiration from the song "Annie Lisle"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Lisle

we must be, lol

we'd need an actual crowd first

Mascots are too full of themselves, lol

don't encourage him

Oh also, everyone who has ever played or sung The Star Spangled Banner is ACTUALLY singing an old BRITTISH drinking song (To Anacreon in Heaven) so all of America is wrong, luckily I am the only person smart/brave enough to say anything...traitors!

Lemmie get this straight Zach:NOBODY listens to pregame (except the National Anthem)AND the band is offending the fans with the away team fight songBUT the away team fight song is in part of pregame to which NOBODY listensHow can the band be SO inconsequential, yet still incense the fans as much as you claim?

stream of amber hue,

the anticipation is killing me

I take cash or check

anybody else want to chime in?

1st paragraphThis is something MOST bands do to acknowledge the visiting fans, if you don't like it, I suggest starting a nation-wide campaign.2nd paragraphThe current band works plenty hard. Too hard in fact... too hard to have to put up with this kind of treatment from akron "fans."3rd paragraphThe courtside band is part of the NCAA basketball atmosphere, if you are going to jump on the band for "ruining the soccer atmosphere," you need to realize that moving the band to the upper bleachers would "ruin the basketball atmosphere"4th paragraphTry to organize your complaints into costructive feedback, otherwise you just piss people off, and they will shut you out. "you get more flys with honey""EDIT: sorry for the double post"A double post plus an edit is tantamount to a triple post. Insofar as the band disrupting the chants...Good point! (here is that constructive criticism I was talking about) The band and the roudies need to work together to establish order and unity. Perhaps in lieu of repeating the same 6 chants all night, the band could provide somewhat of a break for the roudies... but I will give the roudies credit.. the pouch is their turf, the band needs to play by their rules (hopefully the roudies will let them)

Its called "good sportsmanship," remember people this is only a game, these rivalrys are not REAL THINGS... and its not just our tradition:Penn Statehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State_Bl...#Big_Ten_SaluteNorthwesternhttp://huskymarchingband.com/index2.php/?page_id=100Michigan Perduehttp://www.purdue.edu/usp/purdue_pride/tradition.shtmlMichigan Statehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Stat....27s_fight_songUSC University of Nebraskahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of...ame_SpectacularOklahome Soonershttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Sooners#TraditionsTennesseehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_of_the_...nd_Band#Pregame

and the great tradition of "Trolling"

in case you don't know what ur listening to... that first clip is Ohio State's band playing our (Akron's) fight song, and the second clip is Ohio State's band playing Michigan's fight song. Also, Can't's band plays Akron's fight song if you ever decide to travel to an away game.It you are going to make an argument, please base it on facts... not truthiness. Thank you!

lets recap

Have we played the K.e.n.t. fight song before? I don't recall it?If we play K.e.n.t.'s fight song at any point in next Saturday's game, I will walk out of the stadium and never return. That would be the biggest slap in the face anyone could ever pull on a Zips' fan. If you want to play a non-conference, traveling opponent's song, that's fine. You don't play K.e.n.t.'s fightsong in Akron. Period.Does Ohio State play Michigan's fight song? Just curious.Yes they do, and you might want to only put a quarter in the parking meter, because ur gonna hear the Can't State fight song in pregame... just like EVERY opponent akron plays.

Why is it that every couple of years some uppity fan decides to start this "discussion?" What would happen if somebody made a similar claim about OSUs band to their fans?.... they'd be crucified (by more than just bandzip and zipseuph). Where are all of the reasonable zips fans to help silence the crazys?
