goparishpanthers2015 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD will vote on a budget tonight that will slash their budget and one of the issues is not taking the bands to away football games. I guess this is one of the hard decisions that school districts are facing state wide during this fuding crisis. I personally think it is sad that these kids work hard and will not get to go to games to support their schools. Plus what about all the band parents that attend games-what will be the bottom line at the gate when they don't start showing up? Any other schools doing anything similar that anyone knows of?

LoboFan07 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I remember being shocked that Abilene didn't have their band at the game against us last season and that game was in PLANO. Apparently Abilene ISD only allows one band to go on the road a week, while the other stays at home...something like that. Found it very strange either way.

goparishpanthers2015 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I can understand some of those decisions since they were non-district games and required traveling so far but they are saying ALL away games including district games. They are saying that they would save $240,000 for the year (four high schools amounts to $60,000 per band give or take since Creekview probably requires more buses than Ranch View).

franksnbeans Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Schools should go to four-man Hair Bands that rock out to '80's classics like "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me". They could travel to the game in an old Volkswagen Van. Think of the money schools would save, plus the half-time show would be so much cooler.

I do tend to wear my eye make-up a little heavy at times, but that's only when I go out with the guys. Â Have a great season, Frank! Â Be Sweet!

BunzT Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Linden should get Don Henley and Richard Bowden to do one half time show and the proceeds from that game alone would travel the FB team and band for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henley's already paid for the band uniforms, maybe he can buy the gas for the bus. What's odd is he was really born in Gilmer. This has been the funniest thread I've seen since Bilbo doesn't post much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
