What is the rule about cowbells in the stands for high school football or is there a rule. Does anyone have a rule book or case book pager?

If you want my opinion they should destroy every cowbell on the face of the earth. Go Rebels!!!

The artificial noisemaker rule that exists in NFHS basketball does not exist in football.

We all need more cowbell.

I have a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell!

Edit: I just checked on Wikipedia, I can't believe that sketch is 10 years old.

Love it! That's good stuff.

Every time I hear Don't Fear the Reaper, I can't help but think of that skit and Will Ferrell going to town on the cow bell.

Thanks, someone posed the question of the legality of cowbells and I wanted to make sure I had it right before I responded back to them...I have never really had a issie with them in one of our games.

Not cowbells but Ohio playoffs have this rule.

3.4 Air Horns/Noisemaker Prohibited
Air horns are not permitted in the stadium. Noisemakers that require electric or power of other sorts are prohibited

CANADIAN RULING:

No mention. So keep 'em.

Reminds me of my dear, departed mother, who would show up for each of my peewee games and root for my (terrible) team with a vigorous cowbell. I've got to think she was unpopular with the other parents.
