I would say so....
less B.S., less relationships.....
More time for business (RAIN, SLEET, or SNOW).....
Girls: " I can't go out there in the rain and practice, I will mess up my hair"
Less girls: means more aggresiveness......
Band directors can really SPEAK their mind...WHERE THE BAND CAN GET THE TOTAL POINT!!!!....
JUKES I know yall have more.......

Hell Yeah
Even though SU was my first marching band experience, I help out at my old HS with their new program. Man, the girls in the band over their are ridiculous. Out of all the bandmembers, the girls are the worst players, the biggest whiners, and the least driven. I AM NOT SAYING THAT FEMALES SHOULD NOT BE IN MARCHING BAND, but I am sayin' that I'm grateful to be in the SU's band where we can avoid all that drama.
Oh...and I don't think it looks right for a girl to be crabbin' me...

There have been a handful of gays at the "S" that I know of(handful....compared to the hundreds of thousands of members who have come thru).
But, I can't stand it when people say..."since SU is all male...they turned him gay"
....my arse!If he is gay after the Classic....then, he was like that coming out of HS. And, you best believe he kept that isht "tibbity-top" secret......cuz, the Jukebox don't play that isht.
If you hang around SU band hall for a day....I garuantee you'll know that's BS. He11, you'd think the gay dude is David Coppefield, from being able to perform magic by keeping it under wraps.
I think it's just all around better to have an all-male band. No BS...and, no accessories to BS
women are too opionated, when you got dudes theyre easier to control and they dont ask no questions. women always read to deeply into stuff and want to ask questions...........and then they want to give an opinion on what you told them.............southern just isnt the place for that.....anubody who knows doc knows what i mean...........his word is law round them parts!!!!!

That's one thing that surprised the he11 out of me, when I got there.....but, I loved it to death.
Im talking straight DEF JAM in there sometimes.
Fugg' around and don't play one of Knighten's ballads right....you gon' get your crab brother in trouble, cuz they laughing at yo ars. And, if you keep making the same mistake...........Ima just lean waaaaaaay back in my seat, and just LMMFAO (he11, I don't even have a particular story in mind, and Im dying laughing now). :lol:
See, if you have a room full of girls in there (or, maybe you're a band with flags.... :bawling: ), you'd have to pardon and excuse yourself too many times. :smh:....ain't none of that there. Cuz, that slows down progress.
Thank God for SU.

I agree with all of you. I feel you can get more done,.....all work and less mess.
however, there have been times inwhich you run across girls who can hold their own. I have known girls that can out play and out march some of the strongest males,..... and didn't keep up a whole lot of crap. If I didn't have to worry about a lawsuit, these are the only types of female I would allow in the ranks. But yes, over all,... it would be better all male.

I've never been in an all-male band. I am sure that things would be a bit more efficient as described in previous posts...but there is more to the experience than being efficient.
Would they be better? I hope I never find out.

So, you'd rather infest the other sections in the band....cuz, you want head shots on roadtrips? :smh:
This is why it's nothing to us......
1....6+ to 1 w/m ratio on campus.
2....Women waiting in lobbies of the hotels when you get there.
3....Women (who loves a soldier in uniform) at the games.
4....Women everywhere.
5....And, you get to be in the most fiya band on earf.
.....we win. :nod:

I have no problem being part of a "well-oiled machine". I have done that before WITH females. I enjoyed the total experience. There are some musical positives that come along with having females in the mix. There is something to be said for all-out aggression AND for sensitivity. Females help us with the latter a great deal.

Don't take this the wrong way, but........
.....that's sounds like a loud of isht. :smh:
Men can't be smooth and/or soft on an instrument?
Now, if you wanna base your arguement on SU's concept being different....then, do that. But, now you're being rediculous.
