Of course the band has the right to use the facilities of the school, it's not their fault or the football teams fault that the school board is incompetent. To say football is a waste of time and band isn't is just ludicrous. Most band members are in the same boat as football players, when it's over it's over. In both areas kids learn skills that can be used throughout life other than just band and football. What this all boils down to is the fact that the school system let this get this far, politics or people lining their own pockets or whatever the reason. There are still many fields in KY that are grass, but you only see very few that look like this. ignorant or just plain greed is to blame for this, not football or band.
