Dance Lindsay!
NFL rule being enforced. I hope they find a way to bring them back to the stands.
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
I love them and think this is a put down if you ask me. They are there to do a job and make it fun and more interesting for the fans. The Bull Pen Pep Band is the best in the NFL and as Texans fans we are lucky to have such a great group preform for us at every home game. If you don't like the Pep Band then you should consider just watching the game at home or just ignore them and go on your marry way because they are not going to stop playing just for you. GO TEXANSIm sorry, but the bullpen band allways annoys me!

Not liking the fact that they play during the game is one thing. They practie to be as good as they are not to be annoying most of the love it. They don't just show up at the games to play they put work into it and were created by the Texans so tell them but we should not call out the band it's a let down IMO.Gary, take it easy buddy.... he was just making a personal statement, it's all good.
Im sorry, but the bullpen band allways annoys me!
I once jammed to Mustang Sally in Bb with that band!( Thanks bass player)
I think they need their own section so they can keep the excitment going.
So now what happens to them?
Wouldn't they have to eject a bunch of paying customers to accommodate that?
Okay, so, take this with a grain of salt because I'm a sound engineer so I'm sensitive to this stuff but the acoustics in Reliant are TERRIBLE. If you sit in the uppers the pep band sounds like four guys playing toy trumpets. That's right, the entire band sounds like trumpets.
If they set the band up in that walkway behind the bullpen it would be deafening to the fans at the back of that section. Those concrete chambers are extremely loud. You would have to put the band at field level in the first few rows of a section to keep from blasting the people sitting in front of them.
The bell of a trumpet can produce sounds exceeding 140 decibels. (Thats nearing the sound of a jet engine from a few feet away.) It doesn't feel as loud because it's frequency range is much smaller than a Jet Engine. So it's perceived as quieter but the discomfort level still exists.
If the band was in front of the fans (as they are on the field) the acoustic volume (direct sound) would be reduced dramatically.
Secondly the band is not recorded clearly because they use a few microphones that pick up a general area instead of recording each instrument and mixing it together via a sound board (which they have). In a loud stadium capturing sound in proximity to the source is critical.
Thirdly, they are battling the PA system and it's a loosign battle. You can't even understand speech up there in the 600's. (and our ears are naturally tuned to hear speech!)
There are several factors that need to be addressed with the Pep Band.
Having said that, Not having them would be a loss of our unique game experience. I just think it should be improved upon considerably.
what? it's totally true.
Barrett, you are psychotic!
Either for free or very little.Hopefully SOMETHING. Now I believe they are forced to roam the stadium during the game.
I HOPE SOME HOW they can be put back into the back rows of the Bullpen!!
I for one am going to send an e-mail to
fanfeedback@houstontexans.com
to express my hoping that the Band will be given a home. After all, they work very hard and I believe do it for free.
638 sounds good to me!
I ain't moving and I ain't gonna be happy if the band sets up behind me.
Sorry...
I'm there to watch a football game.
IBut then again, why are cheerleaders allowed on the field?
You are an old school fool!
But Gary... I wouldn't know if they're the best... Heck, I wouldn't even know if they were the worst in the league!I love them and think this is a put down if you ask me.

No thanks, I come to watch a football game and The Houston Texans play not watch/listen to a band.
I am not saying they do not put work into what they do, I just dont think it is needed at an NFL game. They just never seemed to really get a response from the crowd, other than a few cheers(which I added due to respect not enjoying thier performance).
I am not old school!!
You may have the fool part right though.
PEP BAND
Hope you guys and gals enjoyed the brats!!! We enjoyed having you over.
To each his own.No thanks, I come to watch a football game and The Houston Texans play not watch/listen to a band.

How about those fans who talk right next to you for the whole game or when something good happens they all stand up to see leaving folks like me out in the cold to wonder what happend?Having the band there has NOTHING to do with watching the football game!!!! They DON'T play during the game! geeezzzz!! They add to the gameday experience and make slack time a lot less boring. If anything interferes with watching the game, it's those damn goal post! lol
The NFL is doing everything they can to take the fun out of the game of football! Pretty soon they'll be telling us not to yell, that the noise might upset their overpaid prema-donna's, or might be distracting to the "suits" that waste time up in the club section! We, the fans, pay the big bucks for tickets, but, we seem to be the one's getting the shaft. If I want to just sit and watch a football game, and not experience the FUN of being there, I'll just stay at home. Hell of a lot cooler in my living room!!
I MISS THE BAND!! Hope they find a place for them by reg season!!
Bull Pen Pep Band not allowed on the field? Hell, it ought to be Bull Pen Pep Band not allowed in the Yellow lot. Those are some free drink scavaging mofos right there! They always come over and play at our tailgates and leave with about 20 cups of frozen margaritas and at least 10 icey cold beers. They probably don't want their drunk asses on the field for fear of them hurling all over it. Drunk bastards!
BS!!!! I've never seen them take anything that was not offered them, NOR have I EVER seen any of them drunk! If you don't want them around, don't OFFER them anthing to drink, and tell them not to come around you. They definitely have BETTER things to do than irritate a sourpuss like you!!
I know I'm quite a bit late... but which cymbal guy are you talking about?Hey SheTexan, did you forget to drink your prune juice today? Chill out. I like the pep band and always joke with them they come to our tailgate spot. Especially since they always play the same damn songs. And yes, the cymbal guy has been intoxicated before. I was trying to bring some light hearted jabbing into this thread, but it seems like you and Yankee have a hard on for the reject band geeks. Stop taking things so seriously.
It's a thankless job and I believe they are completely volunteer (i.e. not paid). We are lucky to have them.
Nope... not voluntary in the least. Lol. We're on par with the cheerleaders but with less glory.
