Within the last week, the announcement came that the ACC would not allow bands to be on the field during their team’s home games. Since the Notre Dame Fighting Irish became a member of the ACC for this coming season shortened by COVID-19, that meant the Band of the Fighting Irish would not be on the field to perform pregame or halftme shows.
We know that this was probably coming due to some schools already saying they would not have any fans or at the very best have a fraction of their stadium full.
