The school of music HATES the tiger band. They are jealous of the publicity and support the tiger band receives. The faculty in the school of music convince students not to be a member of the band! Wickes fought with them the entire time he was at LSU. So did Moorhouse and King. When the tiger band represented the USA (and Louisiana) in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin, the school of music faculty declared it a "waste of money." Talley called the band, "the laughing stock of the country." These people are sick. All they want to do is tear down one of LSU's greatest traditions.
I don't believe any of this is true. Talley and I have corresponded and talked in person about Tiger Band many times. He appreciates TGBFTL and recognizes its power, importance, and potential. I can't see him calling it "the laughing stock of the country." I mean, maybe in a rehearsal setting when they were playing or marching poorly, or acting sloppy. Music directors are notorious for using verbal abuse to motivate the troops.

My sister is a retired member of the LSU School of Music Faculty. She regularly has current SOM faculty over to her home for dinner. My wife and I usually attend. According to those SOM faculty members, the SOM likes the Tiger Band and promotes membership in the band. Roy King hated the rest of the SOM faculty and caused quite a few problems between TB and the SOM. King was also a poor TB leader.
FYI, the TB has always been part of the SOM and not under control of the AD.

He also said the tiger band was "underworked" and "overpaid." Does that sound like appreciates the tiger band?

Well, he did. I spoke to two people who were present when he said it. He said it as a demeaning comment. He bragged about how he was going to "fix" the tiger band. Well, their funding has decreased. The band's away trips have been diminished. They are now under 325 members. Their instrumentation is now screwed up.....and so on.
How is Talley going to "fix" tiger band as he has only been the director at a school with no marching band? Talley is what is commonly known as a "charlatan." The LSU band deserves better.

Damon Talley is a gaping vagina.
