This is how we do it. Marching Band member Sean Campbell displays the results of the band’s long hours of practice at a game in Razorback Stadium. The band was forced to relocate its practices following a request from the Athletic Department. Foootball player Mark Smith said the band rehearsals never bothered him personally. “When I’m out there practicing, I don’t really pay attention to what is going on around me. I’m out there to play football.” [Armitage photo] Practicing the art. Members of the Razorback Band Majorettes practice their routine in preparation for the home game against Alabama.

The Razorback Band launches the search for a new practice field after officials request silence during football practices. They find one — 20 minutes away On Played After 18 years of practicing on the parking lot between the baseball stadium and the grass football practice field, the Razorback Marching Band was declared a distraction and asked to move. “The athletic department didn’t say,‘Get off campus.’A request was made by [Head Coach] Danny Ford and [Athletic Director] Frank Broyles that the band and football team not practice adjacent to each other,” Donita Hubbard, athletic department spokesperson, said. “[The football team and coaches] can’t hear each other.” The band attempted to construct a new drill field on the new parking lot south of Carlson Terrace, but due to expenses estimated near $50,000, the idea was abandoned. Since no other place found was appropriate for their needs or cost effective, the band was forced to commute an average of 20 minutes daily, four days a week, to and from the new drill field constructed near Baldwin Organ Company. This was the first time the band had ever been asked to move in University history, and Band Director W. Dale Warren had mixed emotions about the conflict. He said he believes the fans deserve a successful football team and stressed the fact that band members did everything possible to make the transition easy. “We need to make the public know how great [the band members] attitudes have been,” Warren said. “I don’t know of any better supporters of the football team than our band students.” Ford did not have much to say about the conflict except that the band could practice on their field when the football team was not there. “It’s a conflict of time more than anything else,” Ford said. “I just thought it was ridiculous,” band member Lisa DeLozier, a senior, said. “Band is a class offered by the University, and it wasn’t even held on campus. “I really didn’t like it because of Danny Ford,” she said. “[The band] never really bothered me personally,” J.J. Meadors, a junior Razorback football player, said. “I never felt it made a difference. I guess Danny Ford and Frank Broyles know what is best for the team.” By Mary Huffman BAND LEAVES CAMPUS
