Thank you so much for the recent band coverage. These athletes are so often overlooked.

My pet peeve: TV dismissal of marching bands. The recent University of Southern California and the University of California at Berkeley football game is an example. At half time, I would have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the wonderful Trojan band and, I am sure, Cal has a band of equal talent.

What was aired? Aging football players discussing the first half that we just watched!
