ALM Grand Final vs Victory 23/24

[priorpeter]

I know I'm a minority but I never minded the band.

The band was good value when it used to coordinate with the active. Sadly, it all fell apart and the head of the band left. The new band leader attended a meeting with ccm and YA, and in a nutshell demanded the band have a 24 piece band playing at every game. The relationship fell apart pretty f**king quickly from there.

I still have a fairly good friendship with the original leader of the band, but I would say no to the band - if they’re getting freebies from the APL. If they’ve paid their own way like the rest of the active support, sure, let’s talk.

Bring back the bagpipes too!

I was speaking with someone the other day about this.

Apparently the original leaders of the band only heard half the story when YA asked the newer members to not return if they weren't going to work with us.

I am not surprised by this.
As Pete said if they're happy to work with us and are their to be fans, we're happy to have them.

Personally I loathe the concept. It sends a terrible message that we are not a serious football club and when compared to a genuine classical violinist its looks we tried and failed. We will be a laughing stock (as we are everytime they appear)

I don't like how they keep trying to take attention away from the football and onto themselves - like marching around the stands in front of people. We're there to watch football, not a marching band. And some people might say they play the same few songs so many times you would think they'd be good at them by now.

Last resort... Adcock Park. Has 1 undercover court.

Reality is starting to dawn on me, we're really having a GF at home and I've got a ticket. This is unreal.

I believe the Piper now resides in Adelaide, I went to an away match there and he was there playing. Nice bloke and added a really good atmosphere to the 15 odd supporters that were there. Pretty sure he said he used to play at the games many years ago.

Flute

Pink Oboe?!

Too expensive the flute only cost me 50c.

We need to get some school recorders into Bay 16.

If she's gonna be there for the away fans, she should be made to play Won't Back Down on the violin 🎻

 

[adz]

just needs someone out there banging a drum next to her and we're set

I’d rather listen to the Sounds of Silence…
