Last night, the Student Government Association voted to stop funding Shocker Sound saying this was an Athletic Department issue. The Athletic Department has said that if it is left to them, they will drop the student band and use community members (good luck with that---community members don't generally have all the instruments or organization). President Bardo has "veto" power, as I understand it.
Going to a "community band" would be a huge mistake--I know of NO other university or major college basketball program where this type of band is in place. It should be a student band. Hopefully, people will step up to help fund Shocker Sound. They are a valuable part of the atmosphere at our games--whether we like everything they play or not.
