I think it would be a terrible injustice to send this team without its band. With so few people having the ability to make a cross country trip to cheer on their team, the football team should be thanking the band for its presence and dedication to MSU and the team.

The football team will bring its talent and energy onto the field, the band will bring its talent, enthusiasm and spirit. It seems illogical to exclude 300 school spirit-filled young people, ready and willing to cheer their hardest to help their team win, and go with only the players sitting on the bench and the retirees in the stands. The band has been there cheering its team on all season, now let its members celebrate the accomplishments together.
