In the stands and playing to the in game crowd they're amazing.

Their halftime shows have been so boring it's painful though. It's been down hill since Frank Wicks (sp?) retired.

Boat should become our new band director. He was in the band for like 7 years so he knows what he's doing.

Awesome. Wish LSU did something similar.

During the A&M game last year, our halftime was pretty cool. There were two battleships or something

Ok so we suck at halftime. They suck for the other 60 minutes.

They also mocked the opposing coach's burn scars with the song "Neck."

Who cares what TGBFTL does during half-time? As long as they're bringing the noise for 60 minutes pumping up the crowd and players then everything else is lagniappe.

I don't sit there for 15 minutes oogling the band wondering where we went wrong with our song and composition choices. I either use the restroom or talk with whomever I'm with/people around me about the first half.

Ohio State can win the band national championship...let LSU focus on the only Natty that matters and putting kids into the NFL where what they did in college actually gives them a million dollar career.

What's the argument for what a school can't have an entertaining band at half and a championship caliber footballe team.

No one is arguing that we want to trade some of our football schollys for drum majors.

Do you know how many times I've heard the following phrase?:

"I would go just to watch the band play Pre-Game."

I've heard that for damn near 30 years.

Sure, as they blast their notes and form an ice chest followed by a diamond followed by a brick.

The tiger band is only good for their pregame traditions and lsu songs. There is nothing special about them. That's unless you count endless Latin classics and earth wind and fire songs as special. Or if you count taking the 3rd quarter off to eat nachos. For the guy championing frank wicks, this has been going on long for as long as I can remember him existing.

hell, it goes back far beyond Wickes.....

Swor was just as bad....

the absolute best show (other than the veteran's day show) I ever saw tigerband perform was the circle drill to the light cavalry overture....
