I will grant the OP has a point here. LSU Band Dept doesn't seem to do much of anything outside the university. Rarely see them at Mardi Gras or other functions. They have a High School right on campus with a decent marching band. You would think they would make an effort to recruit from there or host those kids for a game or something. They don't. They just seem to do their thing and that's it.

Are you KIDDING ME? do you even know what it costs and takes to gather, feed, and transport a 325 member organization? Wow. We did Rex my junior year because we got paid a huge sum, but due to the alrsAdy demanding obligations of tigerband, AND the fact it's considered a class, you're rarely going to get everyone together outside of the obligations to which they are assigned.

You people have no clue.

They may or may not do much outside, but...

my kid goes to an Ascension parish public high school. Last year Tiger Band hosted them for some kind of performance, and then hosted them for another, pre-concert festival critique session. Two events for one high school in one year.

I have no knowledge regarding the OP.
