Can you rename this section The Best Band in America? That's the only accurate way to describe them.

So proud to be an alum of the Pride of Dixie. There are less than 10 marching bands in the nation that are in the same caliber musically and technically. (And none of them have a dollar amount in their name.) :-)

A question for former, and even present POD members, could the Battle Hymn of the Republic not be a staple for our band? I think it would be cool to play it immediately after every home game followed by the school fight song. Have all players, coaches,students and fans that want to come on to the feild in front of the band and sing, humm or sway with the band. Just think it would start a great new tradition.

It's already a staple of the band. They play it as the closer of every halftime to begin the season (usually until about mid-season) and almost every game in the stands. What you're describing is what most schools do to their Alma Mater song.

What you're describing is what most schools do to their Alma Mater song. I knew that they played it a lot a couple years ago, and it's the best rendition i've heard. But I dont recall hearing it this past season, and it left a void in my soul. Andy, can you talk some reason with the director? Let the band be loud a play a lot more during the games. The PA music is okay, until they start playing it every time there is a break in play. And the music they play is terrible for the most part. I just feel like more fans, especially old band people and alumni appreciate the band for football than piped in music.

The Battle Hymn is in at least of the videos already shared with them playing it in 2018.

But I dont remember it being played this year. I figured it may be another poor PC attack. The Battle Hymn was played numerous times by the band this season. It's also in the A&M video as their closer.
