Well I guess that settles it. Lehigh is the only school in the PL with a band because the Holy Cross doesn't count having never played in Bethlehem, PA.

And from the Marching 97's own website, it doesn't look like all _____(fill in the #)of them go to every game either.

Would like to see the full band at Villanova and Princeton this year. Both are great away games with Lehigh fans about equal to the home team fans.

Both games are in September with only 3 total games in September this year and only 1 home game. Good year for the band to take 2 bus trips.

The 97 usually gets about 1/2 to 2/3 of the band to attend away games unofficially. I remember traveling to Holy Cross my senior year for a game played in monsoon-like conditions. We had as many members make the 5 hour trek to Worcester, as they had in their own band. Presence at away games, whether official or not, is never a problem for the 97. The Goodtime band should come down to Lehigh one of these seasons and put on a halftime show. Rarely do we get to see any marching bands other than Princeton's scramble band.

I was thinking more of the full band putting on a halftime show at Princeton and Villanova and not just the ragtag group.

Our band is very impressive when dressed and marching and a great chance to show that off in two great venues where there will be decent crowds that have never seen the Marching 97 perform. I would think that Princeton and Villanova would both alot time for a halftime performance if asked.

With only 5 home games this year and only one in September, this would be the year to show off our band at these away venues. If you had to pick only one to attend in full force, I would suggest the Princeton game at night in probably one of the finest stadiums to perform.
