Band Upgrades?

I could draw you a picture, but it would inevitably end up on Bigfoot Hunters as proof positive that Bigfoot exists in South Louisiana.

No one litters in the student section and gets away with it.

Ever seen one of those Jack's Links commercials...tread lightly.

If there was an all time UL band who would be selected??? My favorite guy would be Mike Ritter as the trumpet guy and Brett Darby would be the best Sax dude---ooooppps sorry Z!!!! But guys who would the best be??? What about my boy Chad Fouquier as best all around musician--he did the base, guitar, harmony, etc for my CD!!!

Ritter was a unique trumpet player, that's for sure. I took private trumpet lessons from Will Green and Marc Schomerus (both when they were at UL and I was in grade school and high school). Will is one outstanding trumpet player. Very clean and pure player. Ritter was ahead of me at Acadiana (no overlap). But, in the greatest days I've witnessed of PoA... Ritter was the greatest volume and range (screecher) of all time... in the UL band. That dude could put a hurt on a trumpet. He loved to carry over a high note on every single tune... right or wrong.

I am happy to report ESPN is not going to be played. I am the band grad assistant.

You need to coordinate with whoever the knucklehead is in the press box that finds a need to play rap music during the game and often at the same time as the band is playing. I sure hope that is corrected this year.

Ritter was playing a screaching solo to the student section in the late 70's. Someone was blowing a whistle in the crowd. Ritter spotted the guy with the whistle and stopped his solo, pointed the guy out, and was about ready to go up into the stands and flatten him. Dude had balls ........

Looks like our new band director may have put in some long needed songs on each of the downs.

He'd clear out the section and tear that guy a new whistle hole. No one would want to be on the wrong side of Ritter in those days.

The band brought energy from the beginning of the game!!!!! They came out of tunnel with a hop in their step. They even kept playing well into the 4th qtr when all the fair weather fans left and the atmosphere would normally be dead. I was impressed.


Major props to the band. Finally!!!

The band sounded great all night. I love how the play according to the situation. I really like the one on after a defensive stop.
