Trip to ULM

[LouisianaB]

It is the week before finals. Im sure that is a factor the band considered when making the decision.

Someone not employed by UL (but well known around town) told a few of us at the game that ULM was in deep s-h-i-t and maintaining their football program was in jeopardy. I'm not sure where he got that information, but that is what he told us.

Thanks for not mentioning my name....

---And meantime ---this is easily one of the most important games in recent history----Not that it is against a named team, or a high ranking, or a state team---this means a BOWL GAME and it would be the 5th in 6 years----this is a sign of a program of success after not going to a bowl since the late 60s---They have a great coach who has kicked our butt in the past and will have them ready for a great game---Come on guys!!!

Shouldn't matter, IMO... this isn't an overnight trip--just there and back. I was in the USL Band in the 70's and 80's, and the ENTIRE band usually went to multiple away games. The band not going to Monroe is like us not going to McNeese back in the day--would NEVER happen!! If it's a matter of lack of travel funds, that is a HORRIBLE situation. Is Dr. Savoie aware of this, as well as the athletic dept?? This is the most important game of the season, and those guys NEED to be there!!

I know it stinks. I was in The PoA for 5 years. But the band is not suporrted as much as it was then. People just go to games now for football and not the whole experience.
and Well lol our economy also isnt exactly the greatest right now. And with the athletic department not receiving as much money as of recent past, the band fund i assume is one of the first to be shrank. And even though it is a day trip it is still expensive AF now-a-days. it still costs thousands.

We go to one away game per year and we went to Tulane.

A stint to New Orleans is half a trip.

A ride to ULM is also small potatoes.

Combined is equal to one out of state trip.

Let's Geaux Band.
