Houston Dynamic Dynamo Band

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Those folks in 218 are some kind of UH volunteer band. They should really sit somewhere else as they normally get in the way of the TA/EB songs and beats. No offense guys, but your presence is no longer requested.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

It's the UofH band. I'm in 118 and enjoy what extra they add. The same as with the drum group that's been playing over in the South end.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Personally I love those guys and think they are pretty darn cool. Would it be better for them to sit on the far end of the stadium? Perhaps.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

ok...i am very offended by this comment. ''no longer requested''? who said u can request? we wouldnt give a SH** if ur requested or not...TA EB are great ..its awesome...but we have our way of cheering on the orange!! and remember this..u guys dun own nothing...or in charge of anything.. so dun be saying sh** lik we should sit here or there...bcuz we're 'get in the songs and beats' WTF? just like TA and EB we were here since the very 1st match...some of those who are comment negatively bout the band didnt even kno there were a Danamo then...and since the very 1st match we lik TA/EB we havnt miss one single game at Robertson...nor the Cup, nor the downtown celebration...those who are in the band are really true fans who come and practice thier music 5 hours prior to the game..5 HOURS...not to sit around drinking, eating, socializing, partying...but practicing...i myself actually bleed very single game for playing the drum....and sh** load of blisters...we dun play to geting the way of anyone....we play 4 our guys in orange...and we 2 have passions...and sacrificing our time, effort, and pain... for our passions...Dr. Tucker..the band director..didnt knoe jack bout the game of soccer until the dynamo came to town.... a very old man as he is...yet i have never seen any fan like him..such passion... so much time and efforts he had spend on this band...u punks dunno wat passion is.....so shut the F**k up the next time u started to negatively commenting bout this band.

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

I agree with you, and you do have reason to be upset over the comments that were made by some of the more narrow-minded members of the EB/TA (if they even are part of us). I sit with the EB/TA every game, and I respect what the the band does over in your section (I believe its the east side). True fans exist throughout the stadium, and we come in all shapes, ages, and whatnot. Dont let one person or two represent the whole EB/TA, trust me, the fans love what you give to the atmosphere, including me and most of the EB/TA. Continue doing what you guys do, you guys are awesome. The more passion we have the better it is for everyone. Theres no such thing as one way of doing things, as we all love our orange, and there are many ways of showing our passion. Go PEP BAND!!!!!!!!!!!! Vamos Naranja!!!!!!

"Practice, were talking about Practice, not a Game but Practice"



Sorry, could not resist. Keep up the good work and support the Orange!!

P.S. Anyone else get Heartburn from the Black Iguana??

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

As a fan thats sits on the West side of the stadium, yes all 3 groups combined sound like crap, it's really annoying and unfortunately the pep band is the worst with TA/EB claiming the right to bitch about the others. Sorry it's just the way I see/hear it.

As for the pep band personally, I'm a season ticket holder for UH football and basketball too and those songs you play are just not good for soccer. I don't want to hear "thriller" and other songs I expect to hear while Penders watches pre-game warm-ups... you might be able to spot me out by always tossing up the UH hand sign and going Eat Em' Up ect. when you play the UH fight song. But I do it as a joke.

A good solution in my opinion would be that you guys play before the game and at halftime. As for the drum corp at the other end, they interrupt you guys from time to time but aren't that annoying and do a good job of filling in the gaps when TA/EB are doing a chant I don't quite know.

Simply put, Dr. Tucker needs to learn how to jump into the flow that the Hinchada provides over the 90 minutes.

Aubrey's Militia Band as I like to call them, and I've known them since the unvieling of our Dynamo jerseys circa March '06, does a fantastic job as a Pep Band. That was OL's thinking. The Militia, as you are all die hard volunteers, just need to go to Youtube more often to see other pro soccer atmospheres from around the planet. Or just watch FSC more often. Sunday's at 4 specifically.

A match the team with Houston on their chest lost. Other than that you are spot on.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Agreed. I LOVE UH, I am a huge supporter, but the Eat 'em up Coogs just doesn't go with Dynamo soccer. Playing different things at the same time just doesn't sound good.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Just wanted to give my 2 cents about your pep band. I liked it. I've been waiting for band music to work its way into MLS stadiums. I think there's a lot of great American songs that even the casual fan can get involved with. Think about college football, the songs that the band plays gets even the old folks singing. Just a thought, I really liked it. Maybe your supporters groups can get something working together at different points during the game.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Here're my $.02 on the pep band thing... I've played trumpet with them a few times, and who knows, I might again... I go to UH as a music major, and I can assure you that UH has nothing to do with this band other than they play a few of our cougar brass songs from basketball games, etc. A good number of the people that play in the pep band are high school kids and some other college kids too, as well as a few from UH... Dr. Tucker is not affiliated with UH, either. (I think he used to be, but not now...) As a member of the Texian Army, I play trumpet with El Batallon now... I have nothing against the pep band, but I also know that some of their members agree that the other end may be more appropriate for them... On more than one occasion, TA/EB people have been thrown off by the pep bands beats, and vice versa, etc... I could care less, honestly, but I'd like to see both orgs do their own things without stepping on each other's feet... I love playing with El Batallon, and I love playing with the pep band... They are 2 TOTALLY different environments... And being right in the middle of the hinchada last night, you couldn't hear the pep band at all, so it didn't throw us off... lol! Vamos naranjas!

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Frankly, I could give a rat's ass if we had twenty bands/groups in the stadium all doing their own thing.

For me, the more the merrier and the more support the team gets, the better. If they aren't in sync, so what? Who cares? Really, WHO CARES????

If a TA/EB member has a problem with it, here's a novel idea for you. Go recruit a bunch of new members. In fact, recruit so many people, that you drown out all of the other supporters groups in the stadium. Now that's a sensible "solution" to a "problem" of other groups not being in sync with you. The best part of that is that then the other bands/groups will recruit more to try and keep up and "be heard" and the groups will just get bigger and bigger and bigger. Think about it. That's an idea that EVERYONE can get behind.

For someone who's made all of 4 POSTS on this forum to tell someone that "their presence is no longer requested" does nothing more than cause problems. Sounds like some other posters I know.

So you other bands keep doing what you're doing. TA/EB, keep doing what you're doing. Everyone take a deep breath, relax, and understand what the point of supporters groups and bands are to begin with.

Now someone pass me some Del Taco, STAT !!!

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Hell no to pep bands, and that goes for any sport. I refuse to watch A&M basketball games because of them, and I certainly don't want them at my soccer matches. They'd just interfere with the supporter's clubs anyway.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Maybe you should start your own MLS team.

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Ah, NO!! We only take breaks to partake the Iguana or when the Helmet Crew does the following:

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

LOL Ed, like Pavlov's dog, I can't stop myself from throwing up the Coog Hand Sign (/shocker) when the pep band does the Eat 'Em Up song and you are right, it doesn't fit in with the Dynamo. I like the pep band's energy. I sit at midfield on the east side and the pep band is loud but also drowns out the TA/EB's chants which are awesome. Maybe the Militia can be moved to the home side?

My group stood up in box 42 when the stoppage time was announced and the TA/EB started up "Dale Dynamo" REALLY LOUD! The drum work is also awesome on that chant. Nice job guys.

dale, dale, dale Dynamo!
dale, dale, dale Dynamo!
daleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Dynamooooooooooooooo!

In the words of Trappatoni: Ich habe fertig!!

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Suggestion for atpag...maybe.

I think I will get run out of town for saying this, but what the atpag96 taking a break every once in a while. During that break, we can have normal conversations on BigSoccer instead of having them peppered from someone whining about cursing or begging for attention and validation . I know I will get a million replies saying atpag96 doesn't need a break and honestly, I still don't know how you guys maintain that. There must be a dumb poster training or boot camp or something to get him in shape for that. We do have a variety of fans on BigSoccer, maybe *rey* can play to a different group of sillyness like EPL vs MFL. i don't know....i am trying to help but i feel like i am fizzling out.....

 

Re: Post-Game Thread: SuperLiga 8/1 - Dynamo v DC United [R]

Gee, that sounds so easy. why didn't we think of this sonner girls??
Look my friend, I know you mean well. and we need the ideas to keep flowing, go through the proper channels or at least the proper thread !!!!
