It’s a product of drum majors not knowing what they are doing.
Back when I was in the band, the band was made up mostly of a bunch of people who were really interested in Tech sports and looking for a way to go to a lot of games and maybe influence the game while there. We certainly understood our role as being disrupters.
The current makeup of the band looks to have a lot of people who could give a öööö about sports and are there for other reasons. From a music perspective they are better than we were. But they need to learn the art of affecting the game.
