Funny!

I don’t see anything racist or hateful about her tweet. It’s pretty damn funny, actually. I hope Grambling brings a huge crowd and a good time is had by all.

The comments were made in jest! One can read what one wants into anything today, simply an observation.

VERY funny tweet. That being said, let me give a little preview of the 2018 PoA.
Had the pleasure of watching them put the finishing touches on the revamped Pre-Game show
during band camp two weeks ago. It’s basically the same show, but rewritten for 300, instead of 170! This years band is LOUD—VERY strong brass—you should all notice the difference!
As far as halftime v Grambling—if I heard correctly, first number is “All the Stars” by Kendrick Lamar. The song for Ragin Jazz wasnt set at the time, and the closer was by Beyonce.

I must admit that the pregame show since 2013 has been more consistent, to the point, and a lot better than before. I remember for a while, we would change up the pregame show many times with different songs every year before going into the "UL" formation with the fight song. I like that fact that we now know start it with the "Respect" fanfare and then march right into the fight song. It has a more "traditional" feel to it. I hope we keep it that way.

Now as far as that “classical music” jab—WE, at times, played “classical” music on the field in the 1970’s and 80’s, and blew other bands off the field—it’s ALL about the arrangements!

This is Phantom Regiment doing a closer WE did back in 1977–“Pines of The Appian Way,” from “Pines of Rome,” By Respighi.

[31Ragin97]

everyone this year will probably play r-e-s-p-e-c-t....out of tribute, but not acknowledgin we played it for a long time

[facelessjonmoon]

Is our band still a “concert band” and not a “show band?


On another note, I am interested to see Grambling’s band and how they compare to Southern’s band. I won’t be leaving my seat at halftime

[leeman]

Gawd, I hope our band has learned a couple of more "riffs" to play in between plays. That one tune is SO annoying!!!!!

This. At least someone is giving them a chance and not just downright ridiculing them without even watching them first.
