[QUOTE="1970 John, post: 1815419, member: 589602"] They would wait until the Marching Illini began to play and then jump all over them. Two examples of the rudeness of Purdue’s band: When the winning song of ghe text voting was announced and the song begun, that bush league band from West Lafayette began playing something loudly. After the game, when their team was back in the locker room and most most of the fans were gone, the Marching Illini began playing our Alma Mater, the Purdue Bush League Band came in at fortissimo playing what I presume was their fight song. That was the last time, on senior day, that the Marching Illini would play the Alma Mater in uniform at Memorial Stadium. For the seniors, it would be the last time ever. These are unacceptable, especially after the Marching Illini extended the invitation to Purdue to play at the game and perform at halftime. It’s unforgivable. I trust that Barry Houser and his successors never invite Purdue to the stadium again for 50 years. And if the Marching Illini are invited to West Lafayette, I hope we decline. [/QUOTE]
