Ashamed of the LSU Band Administration

First, the Northwestern band stepped up to loan a local (Baton Rouge area) band much needed instruments due to the flood.
NSU Band provides instruments to flood victims
Second, the Southern band stepped up by taking a few minutes out of their band camp schedule to ease the pain and suffering of flood victims residing at shelters with a heartfelt performance.
Souther band performs for flood victims
Third, The University of Southern Mississippi has stepped up by collecting instruments for flood victims (Louisiana band and orchestra students).
USM Professor collects instruments for flood victims
Why has the LSU band administration not "stepped up" to help our community. I am aware that the LSU band has an extensive collection of instruments that are ONLY used for the Alumni band performance each year (enough for a 300 piece alumni band). I am proud to call myself an LSU Alum. However, I am "less proud" to call myself a Tiger Band fan."

I didn't know USM was doing that. Good on Southern Miss for doing that.

Give it the frick up. We know you hate Tiger Band and it directors. Fire Alleva and King. Anything I missed?

Maybe members of the tiger band lost things themselves and they're focusing their efforts on helping their own?
And more than likely those instruments were donated or bought with donated funds and you can't just give that stuff away due to it being a restricted gift.
Not excusing anything but there's always more than meets the eye.

I can't put into words correctly how much you suck as a poster.

You band geeks are really weird
Instead of being happy for other bands, you use something like this to bitch about the LSU band

Preservation Hall is doing the same. Hey LSU, where are you???

Did you not notice the cluster frick tiger band admin has become in the past few years? I doubt anyone there is concerned with going above and beyond to help the bands image. It's probably for the best that they remain under the radar.

Bring back Linda!!!!!!

I have zero issues with that as a tiger band alum. They are currently dealing with a new director and were trying to get through preseason week during the flood. Do you just look for things to bitch about? How about the fact that probably 30% of the members are from this area and were likely dealing with their own flooded family homes or apartments. Good grief!

I thought this was about going to Lambeau and not hearing Pregame. Then when Lambeau graciously offered the stadium mic to our 10 piece band in the 4th Q, they decided to play some Mardi Gras tune and not Pregame.
I was also ashamed.

TGBFTL has had a horrible off season themselves. I would imagine that this season has been very difficult for them in terms of dealing with defections and assembling a product for football season.
I would give them a pass on this one.

I don't mean to be a dick, but that's kind of shitty compared to the other two

You realize there are rules on what a public entity can do with surplus property, right?
Derp!

NSU Band provides instruments to floos victims
Thank God someone is finally donating to this.
With all the coverage on flood victims, there's not early enough coverage on the floos victims.

I won't support the LSU band until they learn how to haze these band snowflakes properly, like FAMU.
