  1. Hi all. I've browsed the boards a couple times but haven't started up an account, but thought this would be a good time to register. I'm a member of the marching band and wanted to clear a few things up. We originally were scheduled to leave 8 am on saturday, but that got pushed back 12 hours to 8 pm in hopes of weather conditions improving. Obviously, that was not the case. The band did not find out until about 5 pm on Saturday when our director emailed everyone informing of the cancellation. Obviously, we're incredibly disappointed. A lot of us look forward to the bowl game all year and we see it as the culmination of a season's worth of hard work (and waking up for 7 am practice everyday!). It's a huge bummer that it had to be this way. Don't blame the university. Ultimately, it was the Directors' decision and it was a difficult one. The bus company needed an answer right away, and they just couldn't wait any longer. It was a safety concern, and that is the most important reason. Even if we could fly out there, it really would do no one any good. Usually for bowl trips, we have to learn a modified version of the halftime show as well as pregame - things that couldn't be done in a day or two. Last year for the Gator Bowl, we spent quite a bit of time down there trying to perfect everything from performances to parade formations, and even practicing our tunes. Yes, the band's season got cut short, but we'll still be rooting for our Huskers. Go Big Red!!
