re: Band got put to shame tonight.

I'm sorry that your nephew didn't get to experience the band with Wickes as director. That man put his heart and soul into his job, and continued the proud tradition of the band.

People can say this doesn't matter and make band nerd comments all they want. But the one thing that is as much a part of the LSU tradition as everything else was that LSU historically always had a very strong nationally recognized marching band. Even in the horrible decade under Archer and Hallman, LSU's band was always among the best in the SEC.

LSU stole Frank from Florida, Maybe they can steal another one and let Roy King go be what he wants to be, a high school band director. I've seen and heard high school bands that are better than LSU's current band.
