Brock knows bands literally.

I like it . . . it’s a cheese thing . . .
Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
The band was fantastic. Only wish they were quadruple in size. I want a larger band that when they play, you can hear them all the way to BR and LC.
Thank you band members.

Agreed Band was great, but I was there to watch football.
Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
Okay. So, maybe I was too much of a band nerd back in the day. I was both in a great marching band and I watched great marching bands perform at halftime. Maybe, in today's world, I'm expecting too much.
Bring back Jim Goodman.

It's pretty sad when the baton twirler is more entertaining than the entire band.
Considering that Louisiana's first band ever (1901) was a marching band. There should be a tradition to uphold.

Ya'll better watch out. The Southern Band is coming to town next year. That is what's called tradition.

No they’re not. We open with Southeastern. Their band is about 30 members and not better than a high school band.

Really? I was told from a pretty reliable source that Southern will be on the schedule.
