I promise you the student section would go nuts!!

Time to do something unexpected!

Our band is to white and has no rhythm. They couldn’t do it justice.

Gotta try!! We could pull it off! That is organic as it will get .

What everyone reading this thread is thinking

[Ragin9221]

Why we gotta do it.

Switch it up

All the more fun.

Someone needs to be calling the Band Director at Southern to see if they have a score. Purchase it from him, and play that during homecoming !

People would be in disbelief, it doesn’t seem that hard I know we can play this !! Ain’t nothing to it

The team would go off no matter how "no rhythm" our band is. After last week it would be perfect

We should raise the bar musically, not lower it. Let’s aim for Ohio State level stuff.

I feel like set it off should be our new anthem

Out of RESPECT! I second that

Let’s SET IT OFF!

Ok. I can totally get behind a change of direction with the band.....this board has been throwing out every idea to make the game day environment fun.....well a band closer to that of Southern or Grambling band would be a big win. We don't even need the same level on on field halftime performance, just the song selection and energy they give in the stands will work....how we make it happen? Students would love it, relate to it.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in Martin Hall for that conversation..

"We saw a video of the players in the locker room and they really love that Set That S*** Off song. We got to thinking maybe it's time for the Pride of Acadiana to play more songs like that! Move closer to the bands at HBCUs...."

For the record I think it's an idea worth dipping a toe into. See if you can get a well-timed 1-minute song that gets the student section to just bounce a little bit.....

Okay we talking about 1 song. I ain’t saying that we become a Southern or Grambling that style is unique to them.

1 song that the team was dancing to, that you can play is a marching band is one thing, but transforming your band into a band like Southern or Grambling is quite another.

To me there is nothing wrong with playing 2 or 3 stand tunes that come from the newer generation, to get the crowd involved. I wouldn’t make it any more then that .
