First horn white!

I don't like extended timeouts so we get them going immediately

See, this is the key, and is pretty much my point.

If you do that, you don't need to stand there telling them that the really loud noise they just heard was the first horn.

If you are not willing to put the ball into play (and around here we are not) when the second horn sounds, then there isn't any point in going on about it being the first horn.

Either case, announcing the horn is silly.
