Unsportsmanlike Conduct by the Band?

[Ed Hickland]

Home team is trailing 46-6 in the middle of the fourth quarter.

With the visiting team on offense, the band strikes up a loud tune almost drowning out the offensive signals.

When the home team goes on offense, the band once again plays but this time a soft tune.

The visiting coach was winning by a country mile and did not say a word.

But what if he became upset with the band's routine.

Should we as officials seek to control the band playing?

Is there a penalty for a too loud band?
