It’s heartbreaking what this program has become since we were there. I love LSU and TB with all my heart. It hurts seeing it go down the shitter like this.



Things will only get worse as long as Talley and Queen are in charge. Talley was the director at a school that did NOT have football or a marching band. Yet, they hired him to run the whole show. Dean Queen is an opera guy! What in the hell is LSU doing?

How much input, if any, might Woodward have when it comes to the school of music?

Do they just not get it, or is there actually animosity toward Tiger Band? If so, why?

I don’t necessarily have an issue with an Opera guy running the SoM. But, there needs to be someone with a strong marching band background running the Band department. These current folks don’t really understand how much TGBFTL is a “face of the university”. They’re running it as though it’s just another part of the SoM, no different than wind ensemble, orchestra, etc.For Queen, it was a matter of finding a way to control the funds tigerband received.
