Well, no, the band is paid, but full of rabid Sounders FC fans. Sounders till they Die!
Gooney futball traditionalist don't dig the band...we all get it. Guess the band will have to play the other 25,000 people in the stadium. If your self-righteous indignation get's the best of you because of the band then you are a crappy supporter. Pull that stick out, drink your beer, and enjoy the game.

soccer fans look at this and are speechless!!!!!! It's fucking weird and doesn't belong in soccer!! the real noise should be generated from the fans not a fucking marching band!!
the marching band is nothing more than a marketing tool, and an effective one at that. they already have fans and supporter groups like ecs that makes the noise. chill, bro.
jealous of what? the fact that the shittle f.o. had to hire a band to create "atmosphere" at their matches? you can't buy authentic atmosphere. and that fact was blatantly obvious in their season opener.
yeah, you're right. shittle fo giving out scarves to everyone who ordered season tickets and paying for all the tifo just reeks of authenticity. what was i thinking?
WOW shut the fuck up. you a red bulls or real salt lake fan?? don't even get seattle started on cheering for sports teams. we need this cuz we haven't had shit to cheer on since the seahawks years ago. so don't even say the cheering is fake and bought.
newsflash: The band isn't hired. They VOLUNTEER. Why? Because they love the Sounders. And apparently, you have never been to a Sounders game, so I'd like to be the first to inform you: they only play at the beginning of the game, halftime, and the end of the game, and when someone scores, the band is drowned out by all of the cheering, screaming fans who are standing next to seats that sold out in a matter of hours.

what's the difference? same shitty stadium. same shitty team. same shitty supporters. oh wait, you guys have a band now. you're totally right. sounders are awesome. whoooooo!
I'm not sold on a band being at a soccer match... Not sure how Barcelona gets away with... hopefully it blends well with the general admission folks of Qwest Field. It would suck if this band drains out chants from sections 121-123
Actually the band and the Emerald City Supporters (the fans that buy up all the tickets in those sections) sit together and will be working in tandem, so there shouldn't be a problem.
I liked it...they didn't interfere with us as much as I was thinking... I'm just glad people like myself were out there making this an issue to assure it would be smooth sailings...
I understand your concern considering ECS wants to be seen and heard, but I think you've fabricated an issue where none existed in the first place. The band never had any explicit goal to "drown out" or "sabotage" ECS. The band is there to accomplish one goal: to support the Sounders.. no ulterior motive whatsoever.

organized Marching Bands are very American. The US soccer base needs something to make them unique amongst all the soccer fans in the world.
Are thing used to be only a hundred or so of using showing up to home matches but that got old.

actually twilight, i have been to a sounders match. last season when the timbers army outnumbered the ecs in their own stadium.
your ownership is a joke, your team is a joke, and your "support" is a joke. THAT is why everyone in the mls hates you.

If you went to a Sounders match last season, then you went to a match with a totally different team. This is the Sounders FC.

I will make sure that the Sounders FC is aware of your plans to sabotage the chanting of the Emerald City Supporters.
There is simply no reason for this.
