re: Past time to finally do away with Univ Marching Bands

Besides, give up the Band and you'll be stuck with Lee Greenwood singing God Bless the USA at half time (or whatever hokey country song is popular) or Chubby Checker asking you to do the twist. Older UT fans will know what I'm talking about with Greenwood. There was a time he fricking lived at Neyland.

You guys pulled the Greenwood Stunt at the Cotton Bowl at the end of the 89 season. I was in the Razorback Band and we had no clue Lee was about to walk out. Both band rehearsed together the day before and we thought the Tennessee Band was just going for cheap patriotic applause (common trick for bands). At the game, they rolled out Greenwood to everyone's surprise and he did his thing. The Arkansas fans shite themselves and were nearly in tears. Made our halftime show look really silly (it was silly). As far as I am concerned, Greenwood single-handily caused Arkansas to lose that game.
