For me, in high school, the only good part of a football game was when we in
the band got to play.  The rest of it was, and still is a waste of time and
a destroyer of brains.

I always had a problem with any fight songs on principle because I was
forced into my high school's marching band to play in the concert band (and
I can't stand American football).  Ours was "Washington & Lee Swing", and we
tubas transposed our part up 1/2 step, so we were in B major against the
rest of the band's B flat major.  The effect was that of a low pitch aural
drill, and no-one could figure out how the band could play the piece so well
but make it sound so irritatingly wrong. PC
