What did ESPN think of the band interest last night?

We were curious this morning about how ESPN Classic and the ESPN 3 Sights and Sounds feed did last night during halftime so we sent a quick tweet over to some folks at ESPN that we know are quite important.

Hey @jksports @espnmikes @MsPotts_ESPN how big of a spike did you have on ESPN Classic/ESPN 3 sights and sounds for halftime shows?

One of the individuals we asked was Mike Soltys who is the VP of Communications for ESPN. He’s kind of a big deal. Within a minute he sent us his thoughts…

@CollegeMarching @jksports @MsPotts_ESPN We don't get overnights for Classic, but if @collegemarching is happy, we are happy.

Yes we are happy. Very happy indeed and hope that this is just the beginning of building their interest in showcasing college bands. Please go and show him some love for that tweet so he can see the power of the band family!
