now:
Move the band to the middle of the "student section".
Why not, the band is obviously our student section. They do a great job.

I agree. Many larger programs use this arrangement.

The arena put their foot down on that one a couple of years ago, it's why the band is still stuck in the black hole corner.

What was their reasoning for that? Can they really do that? Is it written in the contract?

The Badgers' student section feeds off the pep band in the middle of the section. Even Green Bay's section is better for the band in the middle.

i completely agree. the band is clearly more passionate about the team than most of the students... put them front and center.
it's not like a few years ago where there was a strong core of students that lead cheers, lead the student section, and got the arena rocking. let's let the band take that over.

we still need the student section next to the opponent's bench. having them shoot in front of their fans in the 2nd half is just an awful idea.

Easier to move the student section. People have seats with regards to where the team sits, a whole lot to season seat moving would be necessary. Set up is simple from a UWM perspective, as the Cell staff arranges the arena, not UWM workers.

plus having the students next to the opposing team's fans could be fun too ;D

I think moving the student section is off the subject of the thread. The question is can the band be moved. I am not convinced that the Cell forbid that from happening. Can anyone verify that?

Yeah, I was standing there when they told us to stuff it about bettering the set-up. They were mad that we even asked for risers to help elevate the entire band. Instead they gave us A riser which hold the drums and tubas. The cell staff just doesn't want to do anything they absolutely don't have to. Last year for the tourney they added mics for the band instead of improving the setup. So now you hear half of the band instead of a quieter full sound.

The Athletic Department has to get on the Cell to make this happen
