Comments

  • The redirect Go! You Packers! Go! is used throughout this article but the actual article is called Go! You Packers Go!.
  • Image licensing looks good.
  • The lead says Lombardi "renamed them to "Green Bay Packers Band" but I don't see that in the body. The body says ""The Green Bay Packer Band"
  • "traced it roots" → "traced its roots"
  • "who would play in the parking lot" should that be "whom" since the plural "small groups" precedes it?
  • "As part of the Band's revival" Maybe a word other than "revival" should be used here. I don't see where it was disbanded yet.
  • "In 1938, the Packers took over control of the Band, formalizing its membership and performances. A year later, Wilner Burke was named as the band director, a role he would hold until 1982.[9] The Packers wanted to make the atmosphere at games more lively and engaging.[8]" → switch the second and third sentences around so the Burke stuff is together and Packers stuff is together "In 1938, the Packers took over control of the Band, formalizing its membership and performances. The Packers wanted to make the atmosphere at games more lively and engaging. A year later, Wilner Burke was named as the band director, a role he would hold until 1982.[9][8] Burke played for the Band and the American Legion band in the 1930s"
  • "During this time, local high school musical groups would take part in the Band's performances" → "During this time, local high school musical groups took part in the Band's performances"
  • "In the 1961, " remove the
  • "played swing and marching music," swing music is already linked above
  • "Jane Sorgel, a majorette" already linked

Spot checks

  • Link 2 doesn't work?
  • Ref 4 looks good
  • Ref 10 looks good.
  • Ref 13 looks good.
  • Ref 23 looks good.
