Tiger Band Drum Cadences

Yep

I was just going to ask the same question. I've heard it all week on ESPN radio, and was convinced it was the LSU cadence. My brother and I are both Tiger Band alumni, and I just emailed him to ask him if it was the LSU cadence.

I was on the first line that played Blue Building(1996-97). I hate that they ditched it, as well.

I clicked on a WalMart football party link today. You put in your last name and it generates and evite type thing for your game watching party where your name appears in the endzone. Totally sounds like our drum line.

Sorry, can't find the link. But it was LSU. I'd swear it!

The Bama radio station here in bamaland, JOX fm, has been pimpin that commercial all week long. The LSU drum cadence is BY FAR the best thing I have ever heard on there.

This guy was drum captain during my years at LSU. He is probably the best field snare drummer on earth. He is absolutely insane:

Check this shite out.

For all you GBFTL alumni and others,

Do ANY of ya'll remember the drum cadence and cheer that the band used to play in the stands
when LSU had the ball, especially in between plays and/or when LSU was in the huddle?

I heard it first as a child in the 1969 LSU-Auburn game (my first), and I think they played it all the way up until the 80's.

It went something like: Gooooo! Dumm Dumm Dumm Dum ta da, Goooooooo! Dumm Dumm Dumm Dum ta da, Gooooooo! Biiig Tiiigers, Goooooo! Dumm Dumm Dumm Dum ta da, Goooooo! Dumm Dumm Dumm Dum ta da.
And with every Gooooo!, the whole band would throw out their right arm and fist in the air. It was beautiful.

I think they replaced it with that brief, fast, mini version of 'Hold That Tiger' when LSU has the ball. Da Da Da Daaaa! Gooooo Tigers! Da Da Da Daaaaaaaa! Goooo Tigers!, etc.

But I liked the old one better. Wish they would bring that back (along with the big block letter end zones.)

Its a damn shame that they don't play Blue Building anymore.

I played snare during the transition years from Blue Building to Blue Bass.

Blue Bass replaced Blue building in '99 as the third cadence in the sequence after Blue Raiders and Blue Balls.

Blue Bass was named after the composers (Travis Downs, a percussion GA) nickname. His nick name was T-Bass

I like both cadences about the same. Blue Bass is more fun to play. We wanted to play all of them but Wickes and Morehouse shut that down quick. They didnt want the sequence to be too long.

I was sitting near the top of the SEZ, maybe I saw you! Yeah, when we threw the halfback pass on the first play, I about went out of my mind!

It took an all out effort for the Tigers to beat the (eventual, 1971, I think) Heisman Trophy winner in Pat Sullivan and a great Auburn team. Homecoming, if I remember correctly, on ABC in an afternoon affair.

Great memories....

Excellent cadence BTW.. its been over done though.

Raiders is an extremely easy cadence, but is very recognizable. I hope they never take it out of the sequence
