The Marching Band

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Horrible.

[pitchfork 181]

No opera I hope!

[Little Richard 5,943]

How many times do we have to have the song played before the game? Ridiculous.

[dee-luded 2,958]

...refused to yield,

Do you recall what was revealed?

The day the ?????

[titan_uranus 23,177]

Oh no, I don't know what this is referring to and it scares me.

What happened?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Just when you thought our pre-game couldn't get any worse we had a marching band play the club song then the stupid trumpet guy as well.

[Biffen 12,547]

This song means nothing to me.

I cant wait for the day that this music really does die .

Corny ,crappy, Middle of road nonsense.

I would have killed someone if they played that song before the game .

It's like the Afl have it in for me .

[Little Richard 5,943]

Really eradicating the stereo type with a marching band!

[BIG JIM 508]

I was in the members and thank god i could not hear there rubbish

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Marching band was god awful! That guy with the stick at the front has the easiest job going around. Do the powers that be not understand we are at the footy and myself and a lot of others are eating pies and drinking beer? You think about it, you are having some drinks with ya mates at home or at a pub and after a few one of ya mates says "Hey lads you wanna check out that marching band and then swing over and see a trumpet player?" Pffffft!

Damn straight CFH would rather a dodgy cover band belting out Walk or 5 Minutes Alone might scare the little kiddies who were brought up on Backstreet Boys though

[diesel 420]

Gay (with Apolgies to any gay members of this forum)

[Chook 14,701]

Thank god they didn't actually start marching. When I saw them defiling the hallowed turf, I said to my grandpa that "if they start parading around the MCG like some American highscool band club, I might just end it right then and there."

[bush demon 1,928]

Be thankful you are not at somewhere like Metrocom where Dr. Evil plays high volume rock-n-roll constantly.

[Demon2 58]

it just gets worse and worse...my brother and i were praying it was an AFL and not melbourne initiative...

[bjDee 1,249]

Thank god i was out the back of the Blazer bar and missed it. Just got to see the trumpeter on the way back to the seats. Still cringeworthy when it's set up out the front of the members. Better when it's played from within the crowd, but will be much better still when the player wears a grunge t-shirt rather than a velvet jacket.

Haha!! Marching Bands were common place in the 60's & 70's.

Took me back to those days. Was it good entertainment? Meh..

Just goes to show that being traditional is sometimes a very bad idea.

[Gorgoroth 12,440]

Utterly terrible.

[Moonshadow 16,606]

2012.....

Why is this happening in this day and age?

Another terrible pre match 'initiative'.

I would love some Pantera when the lads run onto the G. Or to keep it modern some Machine Head would make my day. But you are right there are way too many of the backstreet boys floating around. I grew up with Pantera and Sepultura and turned out fine but I have to go now my chicken's head isn't going to be ripped off by itself and I must pen my 80th Kill your grandma song.

[Grapeviney 9,059]

i think it was a nod to the queen's diamond jubilee more than anything.. god knows why

but i doubt we'll see it again

I didn't go today so Ii missed that.

If they keep tormenting us fans with this crap solo wind instrument at games, I won't renew my membership.

I'm so [censored] off with this pandering to the svelt cloth, I'm over it. Rubbish in velvet.

Look after your fans in the outer.

[Dr. Gonzo 22,806]

Apparently the cheer squad was going to knit our banner in a tartan crochet as well but canned the idea when they feared our players would struggle to negotiate it.

[titan_uranus 23,177]

Unbelievable.

Does the club know how much we hate the trumpeter? Surely they do. It's cringeworthy, embarrassing, downright stupid, and just disliked generally. Get rid of it.

A marching band is just pathetic.
