I wonder if the AD at a game I worked earlier this year submitted the question. I disallowed them because I (incorrectly, I guess) considered them artificial noisemakers. I honestly thought I was on pretty firm footing. Still do, but I'll follow the rules I'm given.
Well, I guess Wisconsin can make any ruling that they want. It's my understanding though, same as yours, that they're artificial noisemakers and are banned completely under NFHS rules.

Whatinthehell else could ThunderStix be called except an artificial noisemakers? That's exactly what they are.
