The pep band at away games very helpful. Home advantage due to SOTS not what it use to be but still is helpful and fun.
The issues of removing Dixie is only one thing.

Do away with marching band and just have symphony. It’s rare for a University to have an orchestra with strings. We could do that. Just rent bands and circus acts for games.

They, therefore, decided to take preventive measures and a new few bars, bars that have no relation rhythmically or melodically to the rest of the fanfare, were written. |

Weren't there also a few bars of Suwannee River?? Just no connection nowadays to traditions of yore. Hey, 4 minute halftime shows may be a good thing/ |

I guess we had to change the fanfare because some purple-haired, pan sexual, snowflake with a nose ring who doesn't even attend Troy may complain.

It sounds horrible, it doesn’t flow it doesn’t feel natural musically. If that was the best that could be inserted then just scrap it all together. Come up with something new or just don’t have a fanfare at all. |

They cannot logically defend their position so they have to resort to name calling. Back in the day being called a racist or a fascist or a Nazi used to be damning but since those phrases are used frequently and incorrectly as a means to shut down discussion they have come to mean nothing. |

Why not remove the word south. That’s racisss.
We went from having one of the finest bands in all of college football to this Shite show.
Oh and during the game, when it sounds like the sound is playing, look over and you will discover it’s a recording.
Its shameful how bad they suck.

What saddens me is that one day we'll host Jacksonville State, and the Southerners will come to Troy and knock the press box down, and no one in the band, nor the director, nor Jack Hawkins, Jr., will give a single damn between them.

If and when they play at Troy, no one on the team will have even been alive last time these teams played. Rich Rod won’t know the rivalry, most fans don’t even know it. It’s an old time rivalry. |

That's all true, but one should still give a damn when another team, or band, stomps a mudhole in yours. |
