Thread: A Marching Band That Did Not March!

    Okay. So, maybe I was too much of a band nerd back in the day. I was both in a great marching band and I watched great marching bands perform at halftime. Maybe, in today's world, I'm expecting too much.

    Bring back Jim Goodman.

    It's pretty sad when the baton twirler is more entertaining than the entire band.
    Considering that Louisiana's first band ever (1901) was a marching band. There should be a tradition to uphold.

    Ya'll better watch out. The Southern Band is coming to town next year. That is what's called tradition.

    No they’re not. We open with Southeastern. Their band is about 30 members and not better than a high school band.

    Really? I was told from a pretty reliable source that Southern will be on the schedule.

    Well, Southern did play this, one of the finest works at CF.

    Maybe either 23 or 24 because those don’t have our FCS game listed yet.

    I don't even mind the halftime show, but I think the best band of an opposing team we faced this year was Liberty's. Their song selection, frequency of play, and even some drum cadences were great and came across awesome on the radio PBP of the game.

    Perhaps we can take some tips from them.

    Maybe they can loan us some of that Jesus money.

    I'd take some of that Jesus money, but don't need money to improve song selection, frequency of play, and thrown in drum cadences.

    I’m glad we’re playing FSU in middle November. We should get a big bump by beating a top 15 P5 program.

    At least they didn't refuse to yield. Do you recall what was the deal, the day the music died?
