Report: Texas Band Won't Perform 'Eyes of Texas' During Final Home Games

Texas' band will not perform 'The Eyes of Texas' at either of the school's final two home games in 2020, according to the Austin American-Statesman's Brian Davis.

The band did not play the song during Texas' last home game, which was a win over Baylor on Oct. 24. The decision to skip the song came after an internal vote in which roughly half the band's membership voted to not play 'The Eyes of Texas.'

The Longhorns' song has been a controversial topic in Austin dating back to June when a group of athletes across the university called for Texas to rename several campus buildings and change the traditional school song.
