Pete Carroll finally weighed in on the band’s move to the Sun Deck for next season’s football games.
“I think it will be a positive thing,” Carroll said, noting the band’s new location is supposed to make it louder and more accessible. “It’s supposed to be even better with the new sound system.”
Who knew high school bands occupied the prime position in the Coliseum all these years?
On a related note, a friend suggested that if the NFL renovates the Coliseum into a 68,000-seat facility, maybe the band could play outside and have the sound piped into the stadium.

P.S. Some in the athletic dept. are now suggesting band director Art Bartner proposed the move.
