The Band Is Back!!!

[DynamiteRave]

I've never been to a game so I never knew the band left.

One thing I do admire is that I think I heard (I dunno if its true anymore) that these guys aren't paid. That they're out there voluntarily.

The band is back as in this way... LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The Redskins are back - Washington Times
Not that they ever left. The Band doesn't get much attention in our threads but they and the fight song are so much a part of the tradition of the Redskins so I thought it would be nice to include them in the Redskins re-emergence since they are now armed with the fight song as they were back in the day when they played every time the Redskins scored a touchdown which was quiet often as it is of late. It brings back great memories for me and Im sure many others here. HTTR!!!

Isn't it absurd that they had the band stop in the first place? Glad to hear they will be playing again on Sunday.

Baltimore is the only other franchise I know to have a band as well. They are both volunteer based. I'm not sure about the our band, but I have two students that play in the Ravens band and they have to meet the rest of the band on Kent Island near Annapolis and take a bus back to Bmore. Kent Island was deemed the middle point for all band members. For a 1:00 pm start the kids I teach don't get back home till around 9:00 pm. The devotion of these members as volunteers is amazing.
