the DJ played during the game almost until the snap count began. I know bands and music have to stop prior to the snap, but here is my question - is the loud music interfering with the QB ability to hear helmet communication prior to and just after the play call is sent in?

The SMU fan noise was negligible but the music was very loud and IMO created an unfair disadvantage for our side. The music didn’t stop until after the cadence began a few times.
