Ahhh the tRant! Where anyone can be a english professor. Dude this is a message board. SHM.

You don't want to open your eyes/ears. You continue to be bias toward corps styles bands, but you know what it's okay. I have the best of both worlds and I appreciate and enjoy them. You cant seem to do that. The Human Jukebox has preformed at multiple super bowls, parades, BOTB's and other schools and organizations invite them to do so, because of how good they are. You don't get nominated for a grammy or be ranked #1 college band in the nation by USA Today , #2 by the NCAA because you sound like crap. Those are things the GBFTL will never do. ..........but I'm the idiot.

Yes, it's a message board and you are making an argument. However, when someone argues with me showing their ignorance and lack of education, they lose all credibility when they can't even use basic grammar. Sorry, but that's the way it is and that's the way the world works. (Try to get a good job with those writing skills)

Classic retort when someone disagrees with you.

Bullsh** Of course we all have a bias. However, I do happen to like all types of music and I appreciate talent when I see/hear it. I also can appreciate their time and devotion to what they do because I know what it takes. Hats off to them for that. I gave them props. You just didn't pay attention.

Yes, you're the idiot (PRE-formed? Really??) because you have no idea the number of awards, parades, countries, titles, or any other recognition that TGBFTL has gotten yet you claim to say that they will never do those things.

*In the fall of 1997, the band directors of the Southeastern Conference unanimously voted the LSU Tiger Marching Band the best marching band in the SEC
*The band was awarded the Sudler Trophy in 2002, a one-time award conferred upon the nation's best college marching bands.
*On Saturday, October 11, 2008, ESPN announced that the Tiger Band won first place in a competition amongst university bands from Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and USC. Each band played a version of John Williams's Indiana Jones theme, and ESPN posted the videos online for fans to vote.
*In 2012, the LSU Tiger Band was named as one of the "Top Ten College Marching Bands in the United States" by the Huffington Post.
*The Tiger Band performed internationally in 2014 when all 325 members traveled to Dublin, Ireland to perform in the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

There are more, but I'll let the above suffice.

As for Grammy nominations..., yes I've heard some seriously untalented people nominated for Grammy's (Kanye??) and I've never heard of SU getting a nomination anyway.

As for USA Today ranking them #1. Really?? Here are USA Today's Top Ten College Bands and SU didn't even make it to the honorable mentions. (Neither did TGBFTL but I didn't make that claim.)

Good day sir..., I'm out.
