[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most schools have one, maybe two sports that actually generate revenue: football and/or boys’ basketball. The other sports/teams generally cost more money than they make. At some schools, the football program helps fund their athletics programs, so everyone benefits. [/quote]

The football team should pay for marching band as they are there to support the team.[/quote]

HAHAHA.No.[/quote]

Why the laughter? Without the band, cheerleaders and dance team, the whole "Friday Night Lights" atmosphere would be very very different. There wouldn't be nearly as many spectators buying concessions. [/quote]

I think you're overestimating the appeal of the band and cheerleaders.  Sure, their parents come to the game.  But theyre not drawing anyone else.

I know lots of families (ourselves included) who don't have HS aged kids yet that often go to the Friday night games.  We go to watch the football. Not the halftime show[/quote]

At QO?[/quote]
