Thank you!

@ bhkidd You know, instead of making comments like that about Professor Cornish, you should try to enjoy the video. You have to understand, directors have different styles, and I've seen videos of the old band with Joseph Smith as director, and they were good then, and I think they're still as good as they were with Joseph Smith. What's wrong with having a little bit of fun, at a football game?

At about 1:03 is a glaring example of how far this band has fallen. Joe Smith and Rick Murphy would have cut off the hands of the students holding up cameras in the middle of the song. NO DISCIPLINE and less PRIDE!

@bhkidd well one, i'm rather certain he didn't SEE me with the camera...it was all my fault. Secondly, i'm not in it this yr so maybe we'll be disciplined enough for ya this time around....you should come out alumni, homecoming is Oct. 23rd. Hope to see ya there :/

@jwatts363 Not until they fire Craig Cornish and clean this mess up. Not that anyone could care less. I dont blame you, but I blame the leadership that allowed you to feel comfortable with doing that during a performance. When I was a director, I would have handed out game suspensions for that type behavior (I used to direct at an Alabama HS until I got a chance to play pro again). Not that there is anything wrong with fun, but it has a place. IF you end up as an educator, youll understand.

[jwatts363]

@bhkidd I won't, for that is not my major. I guess I just see the good in both sides, discipline and fun.

@bhkidd You couldn't get much farther from the truth. It took a lot of discipline to get to the end of the season, and just the fact that they are recording the awesome moment after such a great game displays great pride.

Beast! I had no idea how awesome BOB is until I saw a video of us playing the battle of the band. EPICNESS. Guess thats the downside of playing in an awesome band, not getting to listen to the total rippage.
