Good for you!! Voice your opinion--especially when its one that I agree with totally. lol BTW, where in AZ?91ndn said:I am the wife of a PNG alum. and am commenting under his name to put in my 2 cents and give an outsiders opinion. I was previously in a marching band in Arizona. I prefer the faster version of the fight song - needs to be aggressive & fast. Its a fight song, not a death march. Save the slower pace for the alma mater and spring symphonic band season.
I marched (baritone horn) with the world famous Coronado Dons, from Scottsdale, AZ. We were #1 in the state every year. My first couple of years we were ranked in the top 20 in the U.S., under band director Ed Meier. BTW. We recently had a marching band reunion that spanned a 7 year period - it was great - I highly recommend something similar for y'all. Much more fun than my regular high school class reunion. Also Coronado high school's school colors were red and blue. What happens when you combine those two colors? You get PURPLE!!!!!squaw said:Good for you!!

Yikes... I guess another year of a slower version of Cherokee where the fans are clapping faster than the tempo of the band.
Still can not comprehend how this is allowed to continue. :angry: :thumbsdown:
squaw said:OK, Bandkid, you asked for it. We've sat on the 30 yd line (by choice) for almost 40 years and we are still in the same area. I did get goosebumps when the drums began and I could hear them, but that changed quickly when the rest of the fight song began. It was slow and low. Not many people standing where we were. I used to get goosebumps the first few times I heard Cherokee, but haven't in several years now. The band during the glory days (the 70's) was absolutely awesome. Personally, a lot of fans don't care if the band gets a 1 or a zero at contest--we want to be proud of them every week at the game. We enjoyed watching a different performance at every game, too. Now all we see is the same thing time after time.

I could not be more proud of our team and our community. The spirit here is unmatched! I am so lucky to be a part of it and to wear the purple and white! The journey of this football season, with these coaches and our players, will stay with me forever. -- PN-G Head Coach Jeff Joseph
