From what I can tell, the official gave the band one warning, basically telling them to cut it out, and then on his way back told the coach - coach kind of ignored him and gave him a "ok, got it" dismissive head nod. The very next series they did it again and he flagged it.
And, as far as "spirit of the rule" goes, they were apparently only playing while they were on defense, and the first outburst was not music, but rather intentionally distracting noise (everyone playing randomly all at once). I didn't ask about the "music/outburst" that drew the flag - whether it was music or not.
I have a couple of emails out to higher-ups up there, but neither has responded. As quickly as one of them usually replies to me, I bet he's been told not to comment on the matter.
