So after reading the majority of the comments and after being in the midst of this mess, I will say this:
I didn’t witness the band playing the fight song on their way out. Is it possible that they did, as I wanted to wait for the crowd to clear a little more prior to leaving. I also didn’t witness any of the alleged conduct either. Everything appeared to be fairly cordial.
When we walked down the hill to exit, it was as congested if not more than usual for those waiting to leave. This was mainly attributed to the band marching in formation out of the stadium 4-6 across and they stayed in that formation literally to their bus which created a weird cross roads where the band had to go left and the fans had to disperse to their vehicles (literally any direction other than south).
While the band was leaving they were chanting a variety of what I would call “silly band chants”. None that I heard were offensive or poking fun at fans. What was annoying AF was that they were in formation, marching into a crowd, which from my angle, should NEVER happen. This activity was compounded by them doing various marching tricks where they would turn, stop, turnaround, continue. Again, NOTHING that should be done in a crowd. Seeing this, I adjusted my patience as we weren’t moving very fast to begin with and tried to give them their room.
Hearing that they were advised to go out the east side and instead followed the crowd really irks me as they could have done everything they wanted to do and avoided it all. That is the definition of reckless.
At least the ISUCFB”V”MB demonstrates common sense to break up and walk out as individuals instead of the entire band marching out together.
