Re: BC Women's Hockey '14-'15: #SOAR
Looking for a Harvard source to quote in regard to the Harvard band? Here's a post from last year's Wisco-Hvd game by one Harvard poster that I particularly admire, for mixing keen insights with a flair for turning a phrase (i.e. me):
"Just because the band looked weird or goofy or pathetic doesn't mean they weren't authentic; they often look that way other than at football games. What exactly were the musicians at the rink wearing? Sometimes the band wears replica uniforms of the sport in question, even though in this case most of them probably couldn't keep their balance on double runners, like an eight year old at a Bruins game wearing a "CHARA" sweater. I repeat, just because the band looked embarrassingly bad doesn't mean they weren't real. We've been embarrassed by them over the decades.
"Another possibility: they may have been Schneider's Band, which is a subset of the band which does illegal stuff such as stopping to serenade the Brown campus before dawn during a bus trip to points south elsewhere along I-95. The Schneiders are carefully auditioned for lack of musical talent so that if they are arrested by campus police, they won't be missed."
Though when I come to think of it, that may not differentiate the Schneiders from the rest of the band....
