Cutting the band at all is really just dumb. The people in charge at LSU really are stupid when it comes to PR - they don't remember the public outrage just 5 months ago because the Pep Band wasn't going to go to Seattle?
I am sure there are at least 100 other much less worthwhile programs or projects that can be cut, operational inefficiencies that can be improved to save money, and poor performing employees that can be terminated tomorrow without being missed. But to cut something that the LSU family takes great pride in and represents LSU so well...dumb.
BTW, never been in the band - don't even know how to play an instrument. Geaux Tiger Band.
The whole mess is the fault of state government but thats a continuing topic for the Poli Board.

next time leave it on the poli board then. But I'm pretty sure the whole country is having a few problems, not just the state.

smaller than a 10% cut to the band (which probably won't be noticed by the average fan) is far different than having no band at all.

I agree. There is this position which is a useless one - LSU vice provost for Equity, Diversity & Community Outreach. That's a new one that wasn't needed when I was in school and I really doubt it is truly needed (or even wanted by many) now. Cut that position.
How about CUP? Is it really needed and how much money does it get? Here's an article and I would cut all of this.

There are many great Tiger Band alums out there that have contributed very much not only to LSU but to the entire world such as emmy award winning composer Julie Giroux.
