The band can't play during live action. Period. That's the NCAA rule (which Texas plays by) and is also in the UIL guidelines.

This statement is false. The NCAA rule is as follows:
"Persons subject to the rules, including bands, shall not create any noise that prohibits a team from hearing its signals." (9-2-1-b-5)
It did not say it couldn't play during live action. Drum lines are going all the time, especially in the 4th quarter.
There is nothing in the UIL exceptions on this rule. Where exactly are you getting the information that led you to make this statement?
