still be a good idea if the band can start playing rather than waiting for a fan to start a chant...

has to be the right ones though!

we shall see how it works.

the club have arranged a band? is it not some giants fans that play in a band????

Nope, the club have put the band together, apparently they had had a request from someone to get one !.....they are Huddersfield people but not necessarily Giants fans, Having spoke to them though they seem very keen to please the fans and are not there for there own pleasure and it's their idea to join in with the fans rather than lead.

Just been reading through this thread, sounds like you've got the same issue's as we have in the South Stand.

Me personally, I like our Band.
There's no better place to be watching a Game of Rugby League *personal opinions may vary* than in the South Stand when the Atmosphere is as good as it's been in recent years.
We already know the Atmosphere lifts the players and they feed off us so to speak.

But, as with everything in this world it isn't to everyone's taste and some people don't like it.

It's all about getting the right balance.

Another thing, the sound probably won't travel as well as if you we're in a Stand with a Roof tonight so don't be surprised if you can't here your Band.

Good Luck with it and safe journey across this evening.

how do the fans think it went lastnight with the band?

took a while to get going but again was prob due to going 18-0 down!

Re: Giants Band : Fri Feb 27, 2015 1:38 pm  

they seem like decent lads who are more than willing to let the fans take the lead, was with them last night as daz was doing his liasing thing, and they kept asking how we thought they were doing.
the main thing i told them is to feel the mood of the fans, learn what tunes to play and when, and don't try and drown out fans chants but join in and help the atmosphere rather than stifle it.

they didn't do too bad last night, but with only 200 soaked and cold souls the atmosphere was never going to be good.

I was stood right by them last night and thought they were a great addition to the singers. I wasn't sure after the hull game but I loved it last night. Can't Help falling in love might need a bit of work but i really enjoyed it.
