A Marching Band That Did Not March!
The POA put out almost zero effort at halftime to entertain the 41,000 in attendance. They simply walked out, played three uninspiring songs in three different formations and walked off.
It's pretty sad when the baton twirler is more entertaining than the entire band.

Agreed. Repeated the same formations that they used pre game. Played nothing that excited anyone.

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
Thank you to the POA for showing up to this sunbelt event that wasn’t on your schedule this semester.

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
Are we complaining about the band? We just won the conference title! Didn’t see halftime but the band played loud and proud all game! If you’re coming here with that crap, go play in the sandbox with the little kids. The adults have something to celebrate tonight!

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
To complain about this on a great day like today…unbelievable. The band more than did their part tonight. If you don’t like what they’re doing, go get nachos at halftime and quit whining about those kids that busted ass all week - and all year starting in July for the ONLY time they get mentioned here being when people complain about them - to practice those sets and songs that just weren’t up to your standard.

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
Band was great after the game during the post game championship celebration. I often am quick to criticize our band but not today.
It was a great day all around!
Geaux Cajuns!

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
They sound much better live than on TV, if you are close to them. I think they should go in the corner again so people on the east side can hear them.

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
Don’t complain, you may be sitting next to the band next year.

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.

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.

Re: A Marching Band That Did Not March!
Well, Southern did play this, one of the finest works at CF.

Maybe either 23 or 24 because those don’t have our FCS game listed yet.
