re: Here's some LSU drum songs that you may want to add to your tailgate playlist

I guess every place has their own style. We didn't practice as much as a line as some, but we definitely partied. A LOT. All of TGBFTL did when I was there, but the Drumline could close it down. We went to Drinkin' with Lincoln at the Tiger twice a week and, well, class was rough on Tuesday and Friday mornings. I remember I had my lesson with Doc on Tuesdays at 10 in the Fall of my Sophomore year, and the hangover was usually just getting bearable by then.

So, while we focused on concert music, it was still a very tight knit group. One of the things that really contributed is that we had our own little building next to the band hall. We all spent so much time practicing and just hanging out around each other in the Percussion Annex that it became like a family.

I really missed that when I got to FSU. It was very different. Not nearly as much camaraderie. And I only knew one percussion major there who was in the Drumline for more than a year. They did practice a lot, and the time demands were too much for most. It put a pretty heavy strain on him.
