| Summary: | This study measures the knowledge, preferences, and opinions of Eastern Kentucky University football fans about their marching band and relates high school musical and/or athletic experience to those preferences. Data was obtained from a questionnaire distributed to a sample of the student body. The results indicate that people with musical backgrounds felt that the halftime show was more important than people with athletic backgrounds. People with musical and/or athletic backgrounds through that marching style was more important than musical style. Most people preferred precision drill to pageantry shows; popular music, jazz, and Broadway show tunes to marches, rock, and serious music; and felt that majorettes and flag carriers added to a halftime show, but did not claim to watch the flag routines.
