Emails we wont work, we need a revolt by the band.
Will the Wisconsin band be at the Wisky/Iowa game? Maybe Iowa fans will compare the two bands and decide it is time that the Iowa band director turn in his monopoly card and retire to where ever band directors retire so that Iowa can hire an enthusiastic young band director that actually wants to have an active top notch Big Ten marching band, instead of the bottom feeder.
Lighten up...my best friend is a band director and we affectionately refer to band members as geeks or bando's. It is not meant to degrade the band members it is something even the kids embrace. I know the commitment band students make...and generally speaking are sharp kids!!!! So just relax and consider the fact it isn't a slap in your sons face.Father of band member here. My son was a trombone player for 4 years in the Iowa band. He worked hard. He was a good athlete in high school, good musician, and an excellent student. He is no geek. The only person who can fire Kastens is the head of the music school. I have no idea who that is, but I can assure you that the band members have no say.
Hawkeye 12345, it is cowardly to call a group of students "geeks" when you get to post anonymously on a message board. You are a complete loser.
Lao Tzu once mused; how do you know what I know for you are not me.

At least the nazi's haven't made them stop playing the "victory polka"!
I believe there was an effort to do so a few years ago, but hawk fans would not stand for it. Anybody old enough to remember?
I believe that is the greatest song played by any band in all of college football, but i'm a bit biased.
