with parallels to our band's recent experience.

The photo of the (non-) crowd at their home opener is just sad.  Most high schools have bigger crowds than that.

Columbia averaged 5,667 fans.  Top was Hahvahd at 9,842, bottom was Dartmouth at 4,007.  Yale's stadium holds 61k+, they average 7,600 or so.  Smallest stadium is Dartmouth at 11,000.

I saw a quarter of an Ivy league game once, Princeton vs. I forget who.  First play, the Princeton slot receiver runs to the flat, QB throws the ball into the ground about 2/3 of the way to the receiver.  Honestly looked like a pretty decent high school team, nothing like a Power 5 game.
