re: TGBFTL- what has happened to it?

Its all direction. Our last director left for a huge promotion at Oregon. He was phenomenal in about every aspect, good at everything, liked and respected. Current director is far less talented and has a far bigger ego, and not liked or respected by a lot of people under him. Volume, technique, half time shows, culture. All of that has suffered and it all falls on him. He makes all the right people happy so he probably won't be leaving any time soon. Covid surely didn't help, and there are talented people in assistant positions. but with him at the helm it won't really get any better.

And keep in mind that especially during game son Saturday, some of those songs get played so fast because the students are amped up. And when adrenaline is hight they dont always realize how fast it is.
