I actually don't think it's that. I think it's the SWAC teams and HBCU hype their bands up so much and talk them up that you hear the noise from their fans. Band is crazy at HBCU's. Their fans actually go to the games and watch the band and then a lot of them leave after halftime. They have these huge band contests and I've heard of people getting into fistfights at some of those things. I've also heard of some of the bands getting into fights with each other.
SEC band just isn't like that. You play the fight song and watch the game. Go to bowls and get money and travel around watching the team. SEC fans don't care that much- which is OK.
DCI is the best without question but not very many colleges can do stuff like that.
