Douglas Tate's halftime recording of Louisiana's Pride of Acadiana

[LaCajunsFan]

It really was a great performance by the band. They sounded great in the stands and on the field. There were times many years ago that the band would half-butt playing in the stands. And some band members claimed that it was because their chops got tired. I played first chair trumpet and if I was supposed to get tired of playing, someone forgot to tell me. Anyhow, the band played clean and full volume the entire game. I told my buddy at half time that the arrangements of the retro tunes they played were about the best field arrangements for a marching band I'd ever heard. Dr. Melley is really doing a great job with the band. The field drill was even highly symmetrical and well executed. These kids get into too. It's all good. Kudos to the POA.

I agree 100% too. All we kept saying was 'where was this band after southern performed in the swamp?' Lol
Very impressive!

You can see/hear this one.

Thanks Brock. That was much better than the original video. Unfortunately I missed their half time performance. Excellent job UL band.

[CajunRebel]

Top notch. Great job.

Band was awesome, how many instruments does Louisiana have in the band and overall how many members are in the Band?

[Lexhead]

I am immensely proud of how far our band has come. I no longer leave my seat at half time. Another reason to be proud of UL.

Do you know how that compares to the other major Uni's in LA?
