Cow Bells and Air Horns (Artificial noisemakers)???

[561_Fan]

Has the FHSAA banned artificial noisemakers from playoff games, because Pahokee High received a notice of potential penalties and fines if they use them during the game. If they are banning them, then why are they acceptable during the regular season?

It's technically against the rules in all games however it's typically not enforced by most officials associations 

 

Really the rule itself is petty to begin with but that's another matter

I was at a game this season. Not going to say where. But they played music from the stadium speakers during the entire game. The visiting team complained about them playing music during the play.  Nothing was done. Home team lost.

This is the policy as stated in the FHSAA Administrative Procedures

"3.1.4 Noisemakers. Whistles, or artificial noisemaking devises that mimic or simulate a game whistle, air horns, and all other artificial or mechanical noisemaking devises, are prohibited in all Florida High School State Championship Series events."

So apparently noisemakers not prohibited during the regular season, but prohibited in the playoffs.  No mention of enforcement protocol or penalties if the policy is violated.  So I guess anything goes...

Amplification is bush league but cheering, bells, bang sticks, and bands should always be ok.

Don't know if they still do, but Freeport used to have dumptrucks lined up side by side on the west endzone side & turned their headlights on when an oppnent's kicker was making an attempt, and blew their airhorns when Freeport scored.
