Newton touchdown horns banned from district

[Back2swag]

It has been decided to ban all horns including fire trucks horns in all district games . Why idk just a way to end a new tradition I guess .

[Hardin Fan]

Is this just in Newton or at all UIL district games?  All the years we played Newton the Fire Dept. was always there to support the team, I didn't see a problem with it as we had our train horn.  If its a UIL rule they are taking away the fans support the teams.

It has been a uil rule for a few years now banning all train/air horns at UIL events

[skipper]

what will the UIL come up with next (that rule stinks) :angry:

I think you are mistaken. As far as I know, the only UIL rule bans air horns in enclosed stadiums.

[CardinalBacker]

It's not like they were going to be blowing them tonight....

[Indianforever]

I know at the butch in beaumont they announce before the game starts that it is a uil rule banning noise makers

The districts decide on train/air horns.

section 1208 #n, they talk about it's against rules for an emergency vehicle to use their lights or siren (horn) during a game unless going to an emergency. You can still use horns during an outside game as long as it's not coming from a fire truck, ambulance, or police car. That's the way I read it.

[Octfeb]

Dayton has one. But it isn't being used now. If I understand right, no one has volunteered to work it at the games.

Like I said, you can blow horns if the event is outdoors.

[GATA!]

It's not like they were going to be blowing them tonight....

.....you are wrong my friend ,at least twice.

[TradinUp BH]

Like I said, you can blow horns if the event is outdoors.

Yes, unless it's a district rule.

[DirtyBird]

Yes, unless it's a district rule.

Yeah. Just making the point that it wasn't a UIl rule. Sometimes schools don't have the cojones to just say no, they try and tell you it's a UIL rule when in fact it isn't. Tatum has had the same thing happen to them.

Newton VFD parks outside the fence and does their lights and sirens in plain sight during the game. That would seem to be a clear violation of the rule. To them it's a welcome break from saving slabs and chimneys.... Besides that, they aren't out running people off of the toad and otherwise being a menace to other traffic. I'm of mixed opinion.

You are correct, but Newton also has a portable air horn. I was talking about air horns, not the trucks. Sorry for the confusion.

....they will be there tonight, tonight's the last night I'm told

[CardinalBacker]

I'm not even lying here....

I was working at the District Clerks office in Newton one day and the fire siren went off.... They still have one of those. The best part is that immediately after the whistle, a city of Newton backhoe comes flying up the street and whips into the fire department. The guy jumps behind the wheel of the firetruck and fires that mutha up....I'm just shaking my head when a guy comes up the street in a COVERED FREAKING WAGON and clippity-clops over to the firehouse and hops onto the fire truck, too. That place is like going back in time about fifty years.
