In Search of Band Eye Coordination with the PA system

Can't kiss and tell. Let's just say it is impressive and he has the MD belt!

I bet all the women line up for that..

As soon as they clock out from their shift at the Exxon.

What does one man’s hair have to do with the game day PA system, announcer?

Asking for a friend.

We’re searching for a tangled, matted mess that can absorb sound.

And you railed in a troll in the process.

You’d be surprised

I tried to tell him.

As an ex-marching band member, watching the game last night on tv, I feel the band embarrassed themselves.

There were 18 first downs. That means they played the eight same measures from the song "Cornbread" 18 times.

Then eight measures of the fight song after second down. That's all they played.

I'm sure if you were in attendance, you got sick of hearing them. It all sounded like a broken record.

I said it before and I'll say it again, whoever is the director of bands should be fired.

Speaking of the band. It looked like the band has gotten wayyyyy smaller. I noticed it at halftime and then when they went up to the stands you could tell they weren't nearly as full as years past

But, But, but, they didn't play some stupid show tunes or a tribute to Liza Minelli. They came out with a Journey tribute. At least that thought is headed in the right direction...

They definitely played some Classic Rock…which is a plus!

They played "school's out for summer"
Sounded cool , but it's the fall and middle of school year.....on a school night

I like the effort but come on man


On the PA front, they brought back the bass (good) and dialed down the volume of the PA announcer. Good job there. Hopefully the issues with the scoreboard cutting out can get fixed before homecoming

The Pride of Louisiana Marching Band is a significant part of the pageantry of college football. So are the traditional repetitive songs in between plays. All schools do this. I enjoy them and wish they would display the cheer words on the Jumbotron for fans to learn them and interact with the game. Cheerleaders can only do so much. The band play many fan favorites during TV time outs.

It’s the fans job to support the team, band, and cheerleaders to create the best game day experience. This is how we build our fan base and brand. What about including the fight song words on the Jumbotron and encourage fans to sing them?

So, where in the band rulebook does it say a band has to play the same song after first down, and second down?

In all fairness, you don't get to hear what's being played in timeouts on TV. So, if you live like in Oklahoma, you're thinking this band knows two songs. And that's it.

Here's words to the "cheer" song after first down. "Give him cornbread. What you gonna give him? I want to know." That's all the lyrics in the song. So, sing your heart out!
