[Wise one]

Stardust, where I usually go to games, the football game is 48 playing minutes, while the band gets about 5 minutes pregame and about 5 minutes at halftime before the visiting band gets to perform. As a former band parent, we had two daughters play in band, we know that the vast majority of people do not come to the games for the band. Most of the people in the stands do not even watch the bands, they talk with their neighbors or go to the rest room. The band has their food and drink furnished by the band parents of the home band and it is served during the bands's break during the third quarter. That time for the bands is used as a meet and greet session. See at the school where I usually attend games even the band does not use the concession stand.
