Worst marching band in the history of the university?

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.

Are you kidding me, don’t you remember the last 11 am we played, fans, band members were dropping like flies. It was 117 degrees on the field. I would never put the band in that situation EVER. Damn, you go put on a wool band suit and sit in that stadium, then let hear ya then

I agree… but Tulane did it.

If you are USLJim, I'm assuming you went USL. I also assume you went to football games during your college days. If you did, there was a marching band that actually marched at halftime. Did you ever see members of that band in t-shirts, shorts and a baseball cap? I don't think so. They were in full uniform. And yes, it was just as hot in those days as it is now.

It's the fourth week of the season and the band is not dressed out in uniform. Both co-band directors should be fired. Someone needs to put Pride back into, The Pride of Acadiana. Obviously, they're not willing to do it.

you complained all day about how hot it was and now you want the band in uniform . . .

From just ten years ago. How did it all go downhill so fast?

As with anything if you want better, it's going to take money

There's $80,000 worth of uniforms sitting in a closet that are not being used.

So, what happened to the band? They’ve been a running joke for several years. We’ve all seen them. They used to be on the Macy’s thanksgiving parade. Was that like a hand out to the musically challenged?

I don’t like making fun of the band, but come on. We are in one of the most musically rich parts of the country and you get stuff that entertains no one year after year.
