I figured 'why not?', and got a good laugh out of the crowd sitting on the end.
I may be old-fashioned... or just old... but I prefer band music to recorded music. Makes for a great atmosphere.

I'm with you. Not many schools in my former area even had cheerleaders, much less a band. One school that did, however, has the best game atmosphere in Northern Vermont, and it is one of the favorite places for people to work games. The crowd is there early [they see 2 games for the price of one]. They cheer their team. [Sportsmanship banners hang proudly on the walls]. And they are playing for the state championship tonight which I will watch on the internet as I am now in FL after a 1720 mile drive.
