I'm pretty sure that I saw them dance at more than one game last year.
Yes, I saw them dance as well. However, the tradition of having a "Golden Girl feature" seems gone. I didn't say they were phasing the Golden Girls and Color Guard out, just changing a longtime tradition which might have something to do with the reduction of girls trying out for Golden Girls (and the increase in girls trying out for Tiger Girls). I hope the Golden Girls and Color Guard (who by the way have their lowest membership in 10-15 years) can survive the current administration.

I didn't make it to the game last night. Are the Tiger Girls now on the sidelines as well?
Tiger Band has some issues. From what I've heard, it is directly related to the new leadership. That in turn leads to reduced student participation. It appears that the new directors want to take Tiger Band away from their traditional corps style toward a more "show band" style similar to what you see in DCI competitions. That usually translates into a smaller band with no colorguard or dance teams. That said, these DCI competition bands are usually comprised primarily of brass instruments, which is definitely not the case with Tiger Band in recent years. Less brass results in greatly reduced power of sound, which is why opposing bands routinely drown out Tiger Band even at home games.

I do, too. I danced for LSU when they still had Tigerettes (twirling line that performed along with Golden Girls). At that time, the Tigerettes were more prestigious. There was a feature twirler at pregame and she could grab the attention of the entire stadium. They gradually fell out of favor because the band director chose to feature the Golden Girls more. Fewer and fewer competed for the position because they were not the focus. The same thing is now happening to the Golden Girls. It is a shame because the girls work hard. They show up in August and sweat through untold hours. They learn a new show every Monday and audition for that show on Wednesday. I will never forget my first Spring semester when I realized that other students actually had time off.
I hope the Golden Girls survive. I would like to see a good twirling line back at LSU. There is room for them all.
