They marched off with about 12:00 left in the break. Did Les tell someone going off the field they'd be back for a quick scrimmage?

They can't exhaust their limited options for the Latin Flair Theme too early in the season

Latin Flair + Westside story


Are you saying there is a secret playbook? They can do more?

And the second song was maybe 30 seconds. What an awful show.

There has to be a band member that posts here right? I just want to ask them.. Are you embarrassed? If not. Then do you realize that the band used to be.......... good

Because Roy loves to Spell out "LSU" or "Tigers" and march off to "Hey Fightin' Tigers" at the end of every show.

The band is awful this year. Drum major doesn't know the difference between a first, second or third down. They've played the wrong down song multiple times every game.

Then before the last play of the Miss St game, no timeout called or anything, they played Pregame. How about you stick to the script and play the second down cheer.

I'd be okay with them just showing other games on the big screens during half time.

GBFTL halftime shows are garbage.

That said, there are plenty of people on this board who would bitch if they started playing pop/rap renditions. Because Obama, kids these days, etc. etc.

You know what's sad is that they try out to be in that shite show. Please, some band member enlighten us. If Southern has an open week, maybe rtf hey could play for us. Other bands at least can be heard.

What's the Gay Bi Sexual Lesbian Transexual movement got to do with our half time show?

I can't stand the play 2 songs, one of them standing still for the golden girls, and play hey fighting tigers off the field halftime shows. But that's all they ever are. It's lazy directing. The band hired a new offensive coordinator a couple of years ago who was supposed to bring more imaginative shows into the rotation but he hasn't been allowed to do so yet.

What you're seeing is a band full of Roy recruits now. Every single Wickes and Moorhouse recruit is gone from the program. The band was able to hang on for a couple of years after 2009 because the older members were taught more disciple and a better work ethic. There's no comparison of a Roy King practice to a Linda Moorhouse practice. People were afraid of her. But they respected her and put a good product on the field.

The band is basically going through LSU football's 2008 and 2009 after the Saban recruits were gone. The football team and Miles figured out what they needed to do and the team improved trough 2010 and 2011. The band has no more Moorhouse students and the quality reflects that. Now the band needs to change their vision and plan or continue to decline.

Have no idea if it was correct but the radio broadcast said they couldn't play as long because Moo St. was getting the football after half.

At this point I'd rather watch people throw the football through Dr Pepper cans at halftime than see another GBFTL halftime show.

I'm usually a huge band supporter but this shite has to go.
