What band whistle? Anybody at the game using a whistle stops now or the game continues after they get ejected.
Had a case last year with an afternoon varsity game at a school stadium when I thought one of my crew (a rookie) had blown an IW shortly before the 1st half got over. He said he didn't so I figured it was coming from the stands.
Told the home team head coach to have the guys in the booth have the announcer make a statement about not interfering.
As we're leaving the field at halftime I hear it again. Then realized it was coming from the soccer field right behind the stands.
The soccer coach had the loudest whistle I've ever heard. Had the A.D. take care of that problem.
