I am not in band this year (my first year not), and I was wondering about game tickets. If an ID of someone currently in band were used to get a football ticket, would that ID have a hold that made it unable to get a ticket?

I graduated in 2002 from the band and I seem to remember that I could still get tickets for my girlfriend (now wife) with my ID. That was a while ago thought, and I'm not sure if the rule is still the same. You may just want to call the ticket office and ask. Just don't give them your name or ID number.

back in 03-04 current band members ids were not able to get student tickets because they had a block on them at the ticket office, idk how it works now that they make you pay for tickets but i havent heard any news about the rule changing so im 99% sure band members ids cant be used to get home game tickets now

Not meaning to switch topics on you here, but what did everyone play? What were the best years you were there? What were the greatest memories?

I marched tuba from 98-01. Greatest year was obviously 98 and I went to every game except Syracuse. By far, winning the Florida game that year was the coolest experience I had during my time in the band. Going to the national championship game was great, but it didn't have the suspense and the history that FL had. I posted on the loudest game thread, that when we opened the T for the FL game, that was the first home game that year, I could not hear myself playing. It was truly awe-inspiring.

Oh and one other thing, I was always in the base of the T and for all three years, there was this cute little blond majorette that always flashed me a smile and a wink when we opened the T.:wink2:

Hey also,
Do any current or former band members understand the saying under my name in my profile?

E E Dbl S E Dbl N ET

Just wondering if that tradition is still going on.

The other one is the pre-game coke. Anybody know about that one?

Ah yes, the drunkenness. I remember a tuba player, before your time, that got drunk on Nyquil on the back of a band bus trip. He was a bit of a lightweight.

Hey did you know Major Dave?

Tennessee backwards

Don't know about the coke.

And I played horn for the last 4 years.
My best trip memory was the 08 Lady Vols NCAA championship. That was incredible...
Football-wise, I'd have to say going to UGA in 07 and pulling the incredbile upset was amazing.
Our fans right next to us barked at UGA fans after the game!

Yeah the Tennessee thing backwards was something we did to make fun of the cheerleaders. They always had this ridiculous cheer T-E-double N-E, Double S, Double E, Tennessee. We figured out it could be done backwards with the same number of syllables and word count. Just a stupid way to keep entertained during the TV timeouts.

Also the pregame coke is a tuba section thing. Me and a couple of friends started in in 98 as a joke tradition where we would toast people like Jim Bob Cooter, Bernie Veazie, Show Your Gold, Go Dores, etc., etc. We still get together and do it when we all do alumni pep-bands or homecoming. It's really funny but I guess it didn't continue much after we left.

hell yeah i remember major dave, that guy was awesome, he was a black suit when i was there but he was always around the tubas, we all as a section actually went out to his little church and listened to him preach one sunday....

most fun bus trip was to the cotton bowl in 04, between me and one other we killed a handle of captain on the bus sitting down between nashville and little rock, arkansas where we were stopping to stay for the night.....we both stood up and promptly fell down the steps of the bus, then got cornered by a black suit and was told "i dont want to hear as much as a mouse's fart out of the two of you troublemakers"

theres probably more drunk stories than sober stories i can think of.....and youre never really in band till youve marched pregame drunk as all hell at a game (Marshall 03 game for me haha)

Wow, marching pre-game drunk. We would have had our throats slit and our balls cut off and inserted through the recently cut slit if we tried to pull something like that when I was in band. A lot of the older guys loved to goof off during half-time and in the stands but, and I quote "Don't you "F" around like that during pre-game. Pre-Game is sacred."

In any event, UT's Pre-Game is by far the best in the country and is/was/always will be my favorite part of marching at UT.

If you see Major Dave, tell him Brian Gallion said hi.

will do but i doubt ill make it back to east tennessee for a while to see him, and the drunk pregame was more of an "accident" than an intentional thing, granted i still did it with no mistakes but it was i guess more common an occurance than youd think, i only did it once but youd always hear about other people in other sections too that were drunk and get a good laugh out of it

you said earlier about making fun of the cheerleader cheers.....my fav one to make fun of was the "c'mon team, lets move the ball, go that way!" and theyd point which way theyd think we were going, half the time they were wrong....
