re: Are we bringing the full band?

My son is in the band...I believe they're bringing about 110 members.
In previous years, the full band took one road trip per year plus the bowl game, but apparently that precedent has changed, and they will no longer bring the full band on a road game.
A few years ago, TGBFT traveled to Ireland to march in a St Patrick's Day parade. There was a trip scheduled for them to go to China in the next couple of years, however, it appears that's not going to happen.
Our football team/program had reached a level of excellence, but seems to be retreating to the category of mediocre. It seems the powers that be are unwilling to spend/invest to make our program as good as it can be. I think the goings on with regard to the Tiger Band are an indication that LSU has gone back to the ways of being cheap.
I hope I'm wrong, but that's how it looks to me....
