BIRMINGHAM - The Southwestern Athletic Conference announced today the Grambling State Marching Band and the Prairie View A&M Marching Band have each been issued a public reprimand for their actions during last Saturday’s Grambling State-Prairie View A&M football game.Conference rules state that: “once the offensive team breaks the huddle and approaches the line of scrimmage, the band shall cease playing.” By rule, both bands were asked to stop playing at these times by both the referee and the public address announcer.SWAC rules state that: “on the 2nd offense the violating band will be reprimanded and suspended from performing during their next contest and/or fined an amount to be determined by the Commissioner. On the 3rd offense the violating band will be suspended from performing the remainder of the season. ”“While we completely understand the importance of the bands to our total game experience, the rules of playing during the game must be adhered to in the interest of competitive balance”, SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp said. “There are a number of opportunities for the bands to play and perform between plays, as well as, prior to the offensive team approaching the line of scrimmage. We expect all of our outstanding bands to follow these guidelines.”

LOL...We'll see.
But seeing as how PV is know to NOT travel anyway, I fail to see how this reprimand affects the Storm. Maybe they can take the fine out of the band's "overwehlmingly plentiful budget".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....Overwhelmingly Plentiful Budget, I feel you. We spent that budget on water at the Rose Bowl and were still in debt. Besides it was maybe 4 songs all game and Section Battling (BOX and 14K..yeah we did that). If you think we won't light up the game, that's crazy. Oh well, Homecoming is next week and then maybe Southern (oops, it's in Baton Rouge). Well season might be over anyway minus some home games no one comes to.

But seriously, now I don't expect to hear as much as a peep from these two bands anymore for the remainder of the season. The rules are ridiculous!
