STH Survey

They add new songs every year.  Yes, some of it is old favorites that have gone stale, but when I was in the band we consistently had 5-10 new songs every year.

The problem with modern music is that it doesn't lend itself well to band arrangements.  When it does, someone has to write a decent arrangement (which doesn't always happen).  Then getting the licenses to play the music costs money.

If you have song suggestions, DM me and I'll pass them to people I still know in band.

Wouldn't it be more fun to post them here?

How about some Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats?

How about shamelessly ripping off the only good thing about DePaul Basketball, their pep band, and play some early Chicago songs?

Also, I believe you when you say they learn new songs, but it seems like they play the same ones during game time.  Can't they switch them up a little and play some at the under 8 that they normally play 30 minutes before gametime?

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I don't really care about the band or the DJ or the giveaways or timeout entertainment or any other non-game action at the BC. I go to Marquette basketball games to watch Marquette basketball. I enjoy the game more when Marquette wins. If Marquette gets back to winning consistently, my "game experience" will be much better.

Nailed it.

I pretty much said the same thing in my survey response.  All of the ancillary "game day" stuff should be secondary to actually watching the game.

Marquette has a pro level vibe to it. Friends and family I bring are amazed by the experience, and when you go on road games, you really know how well MU does. Winning is all that, but if that is all there is, it is easy to stay home and watch. The promotions, game giveaways, music, band, students are all about the social aspect of attending in person. You know, having fun with other people.

+1000....stop losing at home..period, and my game day experience will be top notch.

I love both those ideas.
