Funny!

i really would like the thread to stay band related, so i wont attempt to answer all those questions, but i just want to say one last thing to T. its perfectly ok that you dont think the original constitution needed to be updated. but it has already been, i believe like 27 times. so to her point, not considering if it should have or not, there were 27 instances where the original was considered old and outdated. i dont want to seem as if you cant feel like the original was the best version, only that the original was in fact changed many times in our history.

Amended is self-correcting, not re-written. That is historically incorrect. But I'm interested in hearing what amendments are needed to modernize our constitution today. Perhaps Turbine can create a forum for such discussions.

Yes, Southern has always had a larger band. It wasn't until the mid 90's that Southern allowed females in the band. Most musicians consider Grambling to be musically superior to Southern. Grambling has a lot more wind instruments in their band.

Grambling has one of college football's best chants. Their fans go nuts when the band plays "We Ready". Very similar to LSU and their love for the song "Neck". I wish we had something like this at UL.

I've always watched the Bayou Classic,I have attended two games in my lifetime. I guess I just never noticed the difference in numbers between the two school's bands.

Yes, amended to address serious human rights violations like Slavery, Citizenship for descendants of Slaves, Women's Voting Rights and Civil Rights of Minorities. France has re-written is constitution at least 15 times over the past 300 plus years. Anyone want to be France?

Louisiana rewrote it's constitution back in 1974 and amended numerous times. Look at the mess we are in now.

A band thread based on a JOKE evolving into a debate on amending the constitution is the most Ragin Pagin thing ever. All it's missing is Boomer claiming the constitution was written by a Jesuit High School guy.

And KK upset that the band has on black hats

So, the POA is now 300 strong? Is that just the musicians or does that # include flags, rifles, bass player, girls waving sticks, etc?

Total members—don’t have exact count, but horn line in the 200 range, maybe higher.

Total around 280 this year

I didn't take it as a racial comment. People are so sensitive and PC these days.

I think we are now a representative democracy rather than a democracy or republic. The government has overstepped its bounds, as far as state rights go, too often to consider ourselves a true republic.

I believe the Constitution is a living document and can and should be amended, if needed. That's what the framers thought, obviously.

Careful what you say when using living. To you it means ammend as needed by ratification of the states. to the left living means amend by an unelected judge, bureaucrat in power to their perceived needs.

Football season needs to start. Every damn thread lately ends up political or _____ing about colors people wear which is nowhere near what the original post was.
Maybe every post should be thrown into OT.
