I said it last year and the same stands now.... People cannot hear the band playing at the start, we NEED to have the song recorded and blasted out over the tannoy so the band can play along and people can hear it WITH THE WORDS!!!!!!!! Otherwise, this will never take off
I really like the band - having them attempt to play along to music on the PA system is a horrendous idea... The best of musicians struggle to deal with the doppler effect in a stadium as it is - gets even worse when you can't actually hear the PA system and have an inexperienced rhythm section. Every single time, they have been out of time within the first 10 seconds, and it's not just by a little bit... By the end of it, it's always a cacophony of sound, rather than a specific tune...
Be better to just go with the sound being played over the PA system, for the walkout and the band doing the other stuff, that they do best.
