Thread: Worst marching band in the history of the university?

  1. Default Re: Worst marching band in the history of the university?

    One side of the stadium being empty of human sound absorbant is probably helping the band sounds reverberate louder.

    Been there, done that. 100° heat, wool uniform. The problem is, the band directors allow the students to be soft. Another thing. They cater food from an outside restaurant at halftime. I never got that treatment when I was in band. One more thing. That was probably the lamest halftime performance I have ever seen. 6th grade arrangements of Cajun and zydeco songs. Marching about 10 ft to their left 10 ft to their right and nothing else. They just are not putting out the time or the effort. It used to be one of the best half-time bands in all college.

    Back then they had a real leader in Jim Goodman and members like Jamie Capell and Mike Ritter.

    It was hot in Baton Rouge today. I guess the director of The Golden Band from Tigerland didn't read the article.

    I agree, if you want to be big time put in the effort. Wear full uniform at games.

    The whole thing, from pregame to the final whistle is just so ridiculously bad ...

    Imagine this wool band uniform in the heat. Pre WW2.
