The band appears to be fundraising so they can go to the bowl game:

That’s the difference between the Las Vegas Bowl and the Rate Bowl. Vegas would have paid enough to cover the band traveling.

Although, we should get enough from the B1G bowl revenue sharing to pay for the band. It’s a bowl game and Coyle should pony up!

I think for bowl games most bands don't travel.

I think our band actually has it pretty good compared to other conferences.

Maybe not at the G5 level bowl games, but I usually see bands when a P4 plays a P4 team. It seems in the SEC, the bands go on the road during the season. I heard the OU band playing that stupid song over and over when they were at Alabama.
 



The band is bomb and a staple at our home games. They shouldn't need to raise funds, the U should cover it.

SEC bands travel, like full bands. USC band travels in the B1G.
 



I hope the one band mom is cool with whatever accommodations, meals, travel times and transportation end up being offered..
 

Yeah it’s not cheap the band flies charter just like the team… good luck to them. What a fun time..

I had forgotten about the Bitter Band Mom. Thankfully, most band moms are more understanding.
