When you attend or watch Mississippi State football games this fall, the Famous Maroon Band will be a constant presence while you do so. It has over 400 members this year and they do a great job of providing a great atmosphere for the games.
Regardless, there will be some talking head this football season who will take a pot shot at marching bands. They will say something to make them feel like they are nerds, geeks, or whatever without recognizing the amazing impact they have on the game environment of college football. It’s a classic meathead approach, but it gets the people who do so the thing they want the most, and that is attention.
