The ONLY thing I enjoyed about last night's football game (other than my tasty sandwich from Publix) was the Troy band. I remember reading on here that it was only the pep band that was traveling and not the whole squad and I've gotta say, they are nasty! We kept theorizing on why they were SO much louder than our band, were they mic'd? Was there a soundtrack playing along with them through the PA? Or are they just that loud? Holy cow were they good. I'm not really into "band" stuff but I've gotta say, hat's off to the Troy band, freaking awesome. I'm gonna see if they will play my wedding (if that ever happens!)
Agree the Troy Pep band was great.
I dont know why they were louder then ours. Perhpas there is a technical reason?
Dmarkey or Tuba, can you guy illuminate us?
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

First their pep band had more people in it then our entire band! Just the way it goes when we're trying to build a marching band from scratch. They've been around for a long time.
Second they are used to playing loud and they can play well while being loud! They were not mic'd (well maybe for ESPN, because we were too, but not for the stadium).
The Sound of the South (the name for the Troy band) is a very well known band. They are good and big! Think of them as the FSU band of Alabama. Students go to Troy to be a part of their band.
Someday we will have a full sized band and hopefully people will talk about us that way too. We play and march to our best ability and try to give you, the fans, some entertainment.

Re: Troy's Band
Because they had a lot of deep base resonating throughout the stadium and had twice as many Tubas as we did… I counted around ten for them and only 5 for us… half the time our band was split up and weren't even playing as a unit!!!!
I love our band but we need to do better….

Re: Troy's Band
At another point I saw them split between the two sections… did Plantation high school bring some band players?
