## Resource

Plano ISD is ditching the beloved halftime tradition for junior varsity and freshman/sophomore bands and drill teams, moving performances before or after games to keep football on schedule — a move sparking outrage among students and parents who say it strips away the magic of performing in front of a full stadium. While the district cites UIL rules and game timing as reasons, critics argue the change feels rushed and lacks transparency, leaving kids playing to empty stands or split performances — all while Plano insists they’re still offering meaningful opportunities, even with new travel logistics.
