Marching Band: How to fire up Students and Football Players

[Ragin9221]

A few bands that come to mind that have built tradition and even I from a far know what they play are USC, Noter Dame, Texas, Michigan, Tx A&M, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, LSU….. It’s not about changing what you do every other year, its building on your long time traditions and customs that makes you successful. We lack that big time here because we always changing.

The Best College Fanfares are USC, Notre Dame, Florida State, Texas A&M.

A Fanfare is what is separate from the Fight Song. The best ones to me are these. Y’all will recognize each one. They are not changing because it’s awesome ! Best music in college football.

I am not saying it will or should be but Narco could be something we could own.

Say we should be more like Ohio State! Well something like that would be a step in the right direction.

Man I just got to say I think another winner the more I listen to is Narco (Timmy Trumpet)

I cannot find a Marching Band that does it. You know how awesome that song would be right before kick off.

Sorry I might be band nerding out, but we could totally own that song as a Marching Band. I been wishing UL would do some type of fanfare for years.

Love the tempo build up.

Thats the Edwin Diaz entrance song, right?

Play it every time Almandarez comes out to attempt a field goal

Haha I agree ! Check out this video.

IMO the best fight songs in college football are ND, Michigan and USC.

I am also a big fan of when Tennessee scores and they strike up Rocky Top. That band makes Rocky Top sound very good.

I hear that piped through the speakers at every game I watch on TV this year. It’s way over done.

I know less than zero about Greek orgs, I was just wondering if the band members were in a Greek org?

I see Nebraska band members are in Kappa Kappa Psi.

I know, nothing about Kappa Kappa Psi

There are some kind of music organizations with Greek lettering but those are not the same as your social organizations. I think Phi Mu Alpha is one but don’t quote me on that. The short answer is yes there are athletes and band members in Greek organizations across the country not sure how that translates to UL.

Its not just the music they play, but the fan interaction with the music. Listen to the whole stadium singing Rocky Top. Or, listen to the whole stadium spell out T-I-G-E-R-S after LSU's fight song. People want to be engaged not just listening. That is a huge reason why UL games are so boring and people don't care. They do not interact and are not invested.

Yes. Correct. Edwin Diaz intro music. Wish I could've heard for him this season.
