For the first time in many years, the full/whole tiger band WILL NOT travel during the regular season. WTF.
What is going on at LSU? Shameful.

May have something to do with the ousting of the last band director. Rumor was that school of music wanted Tiger Band money

Many people care about the welfare of the band. If you don't, that's OK. BTW....then why are you on this thread?

You can also look at it as an opportunity for more tickets to be allotted to students, fans, etc.

The band doesn't win football games.

Have you ever actually posted about football, or sports in general?

Obsessed isn't even a strong enough word.

This is a topic that many LSU fans are interested in. People want to know what has happened to the band. If you don't care, that's OK.

I think it's because you've been shitting on our band director. You people are really dragging down the GBFTL

Is this really Joe Alleva's decision? Is the band part of the athletic budget? Honest question I don't know.

It's due to the high cost of flying, housing and feeding 110 students for Greenbay. Talley said it costs roughly the same to fly 110 to Greenbay as it does to bus the whole band to Auburn. They had to make a choice and chose Wisconsin as it would be a national marquis game. They're also banking on taking the whole band to Atlanta this year which will also cost a lot. The school of music would prefer to take the full band on the road more, but the funds aren't there and they need donors to step up. TAF gives donors the option to channel their donations to the Tiger Marching Band booster fund.

Alleva is playing a big role in destroying a great tradition at LSU.

Road games are a huge incentive to get top quality players in the band. Cut out the perks and the band will decline.

Roy is gone. When will you accept it?
