UW too cheap to get enough hotel rooms for the band. They must be really expensive right?

@MelloDawg are you going to cancel your 500 grand donation?

Never an issue when I was in school, they sent the whole band to the Sun Bowl of all places.
I imagine they’ll find a way to make it happen. Texas’s band is enormous, however, so it would look quite embarrassing if we sent a bunch of scrubs in soft pants. -
I got the coveted downvote from Mello without participating in the Tug.

What size do we typically send? Is it the same group that went to the Champ game? Are we fighting to get 150 there instead of 120? Would be interesting to know the numbers and who is being left out of the travel.
“But Stephanie has played the tuba the best on the scout team, and though she’s redshirting this year she deserves the trip”….. or are we just be stingy?
Please add more context and I’m sure the tree will appropriately shake if necessary. -
Including cheer/dance/mascots It's around 300 people. 60 got left out.Postal91 said:What size do we typically send? Is it the same group that went to the Champ game? Are we fighting to get 150 there instead of 120? Would be interesting to know the numbers and who is being left out of the travel.

Entire band has gone to every bowl game since 2011. Entire Band has gone to every New Years 6 Bowl since Jim Owens started coaching.
This is a pretty unprecedented move by the new AD. -
I remember a coach from late 80s perhaps bitching about travel roster limits. "But they're sending all the bandsmen!" I don't remember who or when it was, but the line continues to chortle me. /csb

Also, FYI to Jamaal, if that is his real name, they can work around all those limitations if they cared enough to do it (see: be willing to accept the price gouging of flying commercial and pay it.)
It was never a problem for Rose/Holiday/Sun. To be fair, we flew charter in those years but still….
-
I will agree that the band should ideally be there. But I will add that Mrs Housewives of Montlake left for LA with a big deficit in her wake. So to just flippantly say that UW has "plenty of $" may not be all that accurate.
Still, maybe put a call out to donators to help send the whole band.
