According to the Omaha World-Herald, the NSAA (Nebraska School Activities Association) forces all band members to pay gate admission to perform at postseason games. In essence, marching bands are asked to pay like any customer, then entertain the other customers while they're at it.

That would make me not want to go. Nebraska....FAIL, I guess they need to raise money for more corn fields

[Xenon]

The worst part is that they are probably making even less money because of it due to bands not going and so no band parents coming and buying lots of concessions.

Wow, that bites. Imagine the uproar if somebody tried that here. Somehow I can't see schools like those at state, many of whose bands make their football teams look silly, taking such a measure lightly.

Doesn't having a marching band at the game add to the overall atmosphere of a playoff game? If so, why would Nebraska want to mess with that?

 

Probably why you hear a lot about Texas high school football and not much about Nebraska high school football.

If this was the case in Texas, its a good thing I never had to worry about playoffs in high school

PLAYOFFS?! You wanna talk about Playoffs?!.....So true, when I was in high school, Poteet won only 1 game in the 3yrs I was there, and Forney lost all 10. At both schools we were just happy to not get blown out.

 

It was so bad at both schools, people would show up to watch halftime then leave
