Like them all.

The thing I miss is the drum march cadence the GBFTL percussion section used to do when the Tigers were on offense. It would be loud when the team huddled up, then they would lower the volume when the team lined up and would get loud again after the play. This was back in the prehistoric days of the '70s.

That was the 4-Part "Geaux" cadence. I was the head Bass Drum drummer and used to call the start, transitions, volume increase-decrease and cut off.

We had it going most of the game on Offense when the game was fairly close.

We might possibly play it at the Alumni Band game (Rice) if I decide to go this year. Alumni Band is getting repetitive and stale because they won't let us do anything different on the field. SOS every year.

Seems like I remember this at times during the 80's also.

They would start out slow and slowly pick the beat and get faster and faster.
