  • I heard. I will be there. I think they may contact our band as well, there are four teams, and the only band missing from the equation is ours. Idk if they will do it or not. I have heard the three above have confirmed via my fiance working in Sports Information here.

  • interesting... that should be fun.

  • i heard dat asu n jsu gone be der 2

  • Is it the full bands or just pep bands?

  • Full band, from what i've heard.
  • I hate to burst some bubbles here, but Feb 18, is the same weekend as Mardi Gras Parades Endymion in New Orleans and Knights of Momus in Galveston and according to the band directors that I spoke to, Jackson from SU, Lee from TXSU and Mark Gordon from PV, the bands are not appearing. Here is the email I received from Mr. Jackson:

    Good Evening Bro. Thornton,
     
    This is an event that is put on each year by Major League Baseball, and for the last four years it has been in Los Angeles, CA. The Southern University Marching Small Band has participated in the event each year. For the first time in five years, the event has moved to Houston, TX and will be in New Orleans, LA next year. We were schedule to perform again this year but I didn't realized that the event was on the Mardi Gras weekend so we could not attend this year. Keep in mind that this is a GREAT EVENT and ALL high schools in the area should attend. We are disappointed that the "Human Jukebox" will not be able to participate; however, this shouldn't stop anyone from attending. The bands will have a GREAT time. Please bring your entire band and encourage your fellow comrades to participate as will.
     
    For better bands,
     
    Lawrence Jackson
    Director of Bands

  • Yeah they chose a bad time to have their band event.

  • There are four high school bands on the list too
    Stephen F Austin, Beaumont Central, Port Arthur Memorial, Mckinley and North Forest.
    Its supposed to be televised too
  • MLB should have paid more money to the bands, money talks.

  • so who's comming??
