It's not cheep to bring a band, gotta pay for busses, food for them to eat, and you have to pay for the seats they sit in.
And RaginCajun97, usuallly they bring the whole band to a game and a pep band to another. But this year only a pep band was brought to Tulane.
It is the week before finals. Im sure that is a factor the band considered when making the decision.
---And meantime ---this is easily one of the most important games in recent history----Not that it is against a named team, or a high ranking, or a state team---this means a BOWL GAME and it would be the 5th in 6 years----this is a sign of a program of success after not going to a bowl since the late 60s---They have a great coach who has kicked our butt in the past and will have them ready for a great game---Come on guys!!!
Got to let Mcguire eat this weekend
Shouldn't matter, IMO... this isn't an overnight trip--just there and back. I was in the USL Band in the 70's and 80's, and the ENTIRE band usually went to multiple away games. The band not going to Monroe is like us not going to McNeese back in the day--would NEVER happen!! If it's a matter of lack of travel funds, that is a HORRIBLE situation. Is Dr. Savoie aware of this, as well as the athletic dept?? This is the most important game of the season, and those guys NEED to be there!!
