So, Marching Bands can no longer perform a halftime

Show in the opposing teams stadium??? This is what I was told. Is this accurate? A SEC rule? What else will they do to Frick up college football. I always loved watching the other bands at halftime. The Fightin Aggie band, the Million Dollar Band, the Georgia Redcoats, the Pride of the Southland, LSUs Golden Band from Tigerland have all performed on Auburn's field. I can't believe this crap. The American college marching band is not just something unique for the US, but for the entire world. Nowhere in the world are there marching bands like in the USA. I've seen Germans, Koreans, Mexican, British people mesmerized by our unique tradition. What are the PTB thinking?

Schools don’t want bands cutting into their furniture commercial time on the big screen.

Sending all those folks and all that equipment...probably costs a few bucks.

Some bands do to that high school crap and play right up until the snap. They need to put a stop to that.

An Auburn marching band member told me this yesterday. She said Auburn will bus the full marching band to Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl, but they will just sit in the stands the whole time. She said it's a new SEC rule. Visiting bands aren't allowed to do a halftime show.

When is the last time a visiting team band did a half time show?
I can't remember seeing a visiting band on the field. Last time I saw two bands march was either the SEC Championship game or when the iron bowl was in BHAM.

The home school has to approve the seating space and show time allotment. It’s getting increasingly hard to get approved. LSU did zero full band away trips this year because of it and I hope they return the favor to everyone next year. That’s fricking bullshite.

Aggie band played at LSU the past two years. And others but those were ones I can confirm since I was there.

They can perform halftime shows, but they are extremely limited.

Did you go to the Iron Bowl in 2024? Did Auburn's band perform at halftime?
The last IB I went to in Tuscaloosa was 2016 and Auburn's band definitely performed on the field at halftime. Alabama's band performed in our stadium in 2021. (The last IB I personally attended).

If so it’s new within the last month. I don’t believe that’s a thing and bama just decided to tell them to get fricked because they want more time playing sweet home Alabama through 4 gigawatts of speakers.

So does sending the football team, and the cheer leaders, and the support staff, etc...

I tend to agree. I played in Tiger Band at LSU and enjoyed playing at away games at Florida and in Jackson, MS when we played Mississippi State in '86. I've also always enjoyed watching the performance of visiting bands when they came to Tiger Stadium. It's the one part of the opposition that we can show some appreciation for without feeling traitorous. The bands generally put on a great show for everyone. The only limiting factor used to determine whether a visiting band may take the field for a halftime performance should be the length of the halftime break.

Texas A&M's band marched at halftime of the LSU game in Tiger Stadium this year.

Visiting band on the field changes college football none. Feel free to throw down a 2 hour performance sunday-friday for the dozens who want to go watch that.

There is no rule that disallows it. They just have tighter time restrictions and the seating buyouts are higher than they used to be.
Schools just generally don't find it worth it any longer.
