re: LSU Band at Bama?

From a former band member's point of view...
The band has practiced a number of shows so far and could put together a half time show without much trouble, even if it included some repeats. The band members would go with no problem, because when you're in the marching band, you want to march in every game, not to mention the free ticket to go to the game. The biggest obstacle I would see is where to put them since it's a sellout. But it's not impossible. It's happened a couple of times in the past. Heck, they can even change the game time if they want to.

This is what I am referring to, what when the band would play.
And yes, it pretty much is.
There is no way they can now expand the band.
None.

Are they magically going to make 200 more seats appear to accomodate the visiting teams band?

As a former band member, I am sure you understand it is a money issue. To take those extra 200+ band members on the trip, put them all in hotels for 2 nights, feed them, and pay for several extra buses would cost easily $10,000...if not more. In a time of tight funding, on top of a time when they are trying to get a new band hall built, this is an expenditure that can be saved. I would love to see the full band there too...but it isn't gonna happen.
