3. The same thing happened to the West Virginia University band this year.

The University of Maryland insisted that no visiting band is ever allowed to perform at their home games. However, the WVU band performed there when I was in the band in the 1970s, and has performed there as recently as 2005. To add insult to injury, the game was not held at Maryland's home field, but at the Baltimore Ravens stadium, ostensibly a neutral site.

In both cases, I smell a band that can't stand a little competition.
