[Blue-N-Gold]

Someone made the remark about bands playing while cheerleaders are on the floor. I noticed this in the WYMT. Perry Central's band is really bad for this. Every time our cheerleaders came out on the floor PCC's band would play as loud as they could. Hazard High School band director Pauletta Smith does NOT do this. She waits until the cheerleaders leave the center of the floor. At the Hazard-JBS ALL A final game the Band of Gold starting playing the school song, we all stood up to clap and then the band stopped playing. JBS's cheerleaders had taken the floor and Ms. Smith stopped the band until the cheerleaders finished their routine. Then they played the school song. I thought this was very respectful and shows that Ms. Smith is a class act.
