Florida State's marching band, the "Marching Chiefs" did not play the school's iconic third down War Chant in Monday night's 28-13 home loss to Boston College, and will not be playing it moving forward in other home games this season, the band announced on social media.
"The Marching Chiefs and the Athletic Department have enjoyed a relationship of mutual respect for decades," the statement began. "We regularly meet with our colleagues in athletics to discuss all aspects of the game day experience. Our mutual goal, as it always has been, is to help the team on the field, and provide the best environment in college football for the fans. This continues to this day."
