The people are tired and it winds up being a wasted effort. Now if bands would like to set up on their own and perform for free without interacting with FIRST and just happen to perform at the same time, go for it, i don't see a problem unless they charge a fee. Personally i would not like to see a band perform on my behalf due to it changes why people would be there. From getting to learn about FIRST to going to a free concert... When you start charging the public for activities and events that they want to learn more about or find out what it is, thats when the event goes down hill... Why do you think FIRST doesn't charge admission at competitions?
What do you mean, getting a band to play is against GP? Paying for a band has absolutely nothing to with Gracious Professionalism. If done right, a couple of good bands could make the team party in Centennial Park a great time. If that's where everyone's going to eat food and mingle with other FIRSTers, what's the harm in having some good live music? As long as it's not too expensive, and no admission is charged beyond the basic fees for Nats, I have no problem at all with that. In fact, I think it should be encouraged. A good band or two could really make the difference between an average party and a good one. In the end, people will go to the party because it's part of the competition experience, for the same reasons they always have, not just because some band is going to be playing. And nobody ever said anything about charging anything. Where did you get that idea? I can see your concern, but I don't see any of it as valid enough to matter.
