Does everyone stop performing their show after state? We now take halftime off and play during 3rd quarter instead.... I'm not a fan of this procedure, but if it helps the boys to win the game then lets roll through these playoffs! (Just a band mom, have no say so.... I go to the games for the band!)

We always performed our show in the first round of the playoffs but if we advanced to the 2nd round or more, then we scrapped the show and did fun little "pop tunes".

Our band missed the football team's one (and only) playoff game last week due to being out of state at Grand Nationals, but normally, yes.  They might learn a new pop song or two and a quick couple of formations to march on the field, plus of course the drill team's weekly number, but the kids have been spending enormous amounts of their time working on the same show since July and honestly, IMO they need and deserve a break.  They need that time back for academics, or work, or just personal decompression time.

At my school (3A with a move to 4A this year) we do stand tunes combined with the other team's band during halftime, and at the state game for football we do our marching show.

I asked my daughter over the weekend what they will do IF the football team plays at AT&T Stadium... she just shrugged her shoulders, go all that way just to play from the stands, smh, I would hope they at least perform something from the 50 yard line, I like the idea of seeing the show at Jerry World.... but making it that far is a huge IF, gotta get through these next 3 games 1st!
