Since the dawn of time, members of the Green Brigade Marching Band have been enthusiastic supporters of the University of North Texas football team under the direction of Seth Littrell. Students attend all home football games, various away games, and bottom tier bowl games just to show their undying devotion to Mason Fine and his comrades. In direct contrast to this love and dedication, there is no emphasis from the university on the members of the football team to reciprocate the same support to their #1 fans. Members of the band idolize our outstanding student athletes, constantly pushing themselves to perform above and beyond.

The scales must be balanced. The same standards must be enforced on the football team. If members of the band are required to put in nearly the same hours and perform in ensembles, the least the players could do is support the band in a fairly minimal way. The members of the football team should be required or strongly encouraged to support their fellow peers when performing in Wind Studies Concerts or find someone else to play the fight song when you score.
