I'm a TB alum from the 80's and it just amazes me at how stuck in that era TGBFTL has remained.

Don't get me wrong, I love them but, they really need to change with the times.

Do any of you fans and graduates of Louisiana State University actually know how the current "Director of Athletic Bands" was selected?

It was by default, not by interview and selection. The traditional process of doing a national search for a "DOAB" was not done by the University/Music School/Athletic Department.
