warning, im about to be all over the place:
so, not only did she get the name correct, but somewhere else she said she will be at the game, shutout to her for that. and yes funny, and cleaver tweet. if i had a twitter i would give her a follow. at the time of the screen shot, 365 retweets and 903 likes, girl got a little influence. the next stage for increasing awareness and interest in the program, is to go specially after influential individuals, those trend setters / trailblazers so to speak. those are the people who can take whatever work the university does and multiply it exponentially.
I don’t see anything racist or hateful about her tweet. It’s pretty damn funny, actually. I hope Grambling brings a huge crowd and a good time is had by all.
VERY funny tweet. That being said, let me give a little preview of the 2018 PoA.
Had the pleasure of watching them put the finishing touches on the revamped Pre-Game show
during band camp two weeks ago. It’s basically the same show, but rewritten for 300, instead of 170! This years band is LOUD—VERY strong brass—you should all notice the difference!
As far as halftime v Grambling—if I heard correctly, first number is “All the Stars” by Kendrick Lamar. The song for Ragin Jazz wasnt set at the time, and the closer was by Beyonce.
Now as far as that “classical music” jab—WE, at times, played “classical” music on the field in the 1970’s and 80’s, and blew other bands off the field—it’s ALL about the arrangements!
This is Phantom Regiment doing a closer WE did back in 1977–“Pines of The Appian Way,” from “Pines of Rome,” By Respighi.

I must admit that the pregame show since 2013 has been more consistent, to the point, and a lot better than before. I remember for a while, we would change up the pregame show many times with different songs every year before going into the "UL" formation with the fight song. I like that fact that we now know start it with the "Respect" fanfare and then march right into the fight song. It has a more "traditional" feel to it. I hope we keep it that way.
Her profile says #UL19. She one of ours?
In any event, good stuff.
