The best thing about the new video board, etc...

is the new sound system. I am really curious to see how that will sound.

And Mr. Byrne, if you can, move the band to the endzone bleachers.

it will be subbed out to Pro Sound, and those guys know their ****. It is amazing how loud those speakers get.

but will we use them is the question. I remember back in the late 90s, we'd crank up what we had and it sounded pretty good.. It was loud anyway. Then came the complaints and we turned it down to where you can barely hear it.

It reamins to be seen how Byrne will respond.

i hope i don't piss any band people off, but this would be an excellent idea...and to have stealth bombers constantly flying over the stadium</p>

I never understood why we didn't do this once there was "permanent" seating in the endzone.

 

[dawgoneyall]

in this world loud is better but will it be clearer.

 

[vocaldawg7]

i agree as well.... the band needs to be moved. right smack in the center of the endzone bleachers. that way they can be heard (and seen) throughout the entire stadium

</p>because the bleachers aren't high enough. Or that's probably the excuse that they would give you if you asked. Nevermind that the bands seating could be re-arranged.

Also, believe it or not, supposedly there are SEC rules on how close the band can be to the field, and believe it or not, our band is supposedly too close to the field as it is, but it's overlooked because of our stadium design. Once again, nevermind that the band's seating arrangement could be re-arranged.

been thinking about is will it make it harder to hear in the M-club building. I'll admit I have no clue where the locker rooms are in there. I just hope we don't have to keep it turned down all during pre-game and halftime on account of not being able to hear in there. It should be a non-issue though since the speakers will be facing the rest of the stadium.

Now bear with me... The concrete actually does a lot to project the sound. Where the band is at in the stadium actually makes a big difference. For example, Alabama's band is stuck back in a corner of their stadium, with an overhang above them, so it basically works like a megaphone, and they sound really loud. If you hear them during their halftime show it's not nearly as loud.
Maybe they won't put the band there because then all the sound would scatter and you wouldn't be able to hear them.
So I guess the solution is bowl the endzone.

 

[Todd4State]

but when a band is on the field and they are spread out over a wider area, they are not going to be as loud as they are when they are all bunched together.

ole miss plays in vegas, they put their band in the west side upper deck and it sounds just like they are playing somewhere on the East side. I guess its the way the sound bounces off...its the strangest thing.
