The Michigan State Band Had To Take A 10 Hour Bus Ride To The Final Four Instead Of The Team Chartered Flight To Make Room For Trustees
Well, uh, yeah, no kidding. What did the band think was going to happen here? You aren’t the ones with the deep pockets that help with the resources of Michigan State basketball. Of course you’re going to get bumped from the charter flight to the Final Four.
It’s been a rough tournament for bands:
Band talk is apparently hot in the streets during this NCAA Tournament. Now apparently David Harns – the guy who reported this deleted his original tweets and put out a thread that said there are way more people to staff when it comes to a Final Four game than the opening rounds so that’s what happened.
The fact is the band will always get popped first. It’s just how it goes. But what a kick in the dick this is for the band. You’re thinking you’re about to hop on a charter flight (I hear those are fun). Sit back for a quick trip. Enjoy a cold beverage while you’re soaring through the air. Maybe slide up and give some advice to Cassius Winston.
Now, a 10 hour bus ride? Yuck. Bus rides suck. There’s one bathroom, maybe two for a 10 hour trip. You’re still crammed in like you are on an airplane but you can’t really get comfortable enough to fall asleep. There’s for sure going to be someone who suggest the movie they put on those tiny ass TVs on the bus.*
