Spoke with Mr. King this morning.
Tiger Band is not able to perform pregame at the
Cotton Bowl. A&M is the home team and the only
one able to perform.

As of this afternoon Cotton Bowl sent an email saying that LSU will perform for pregame!!!!

Really? If true, what a bunch of bullsh*t. It's supposed to be a bowl game at a nuetral site.

There was always a "home" team in the bowl games I went to, but both bands always had time to do pregame and halftime

Less practice for us.

But it's pretty upsetting, I love the crowd reaction we get.

Roy told me they tried to work out a schedule
but the Cotton Bowl people that were in town said only the home team band does pregame.
All other bowl games both bands perform.
Tiger Band is unhappy about it but can't really do anything.
Maybe we need to start calling the Cotton Bowl office

if true this is against bowl rules and someone should make the conference aware of this. Bowls are supposed to be neutral. Only allowing one team's band to perform shows an obvious bias.

FWIW Fox may have something to do with it, seeing as this is their dress rehearsal for the Super Bowl.

Further proof that Fox ruins everything they touch.

Let's get some links and verification.
On the surface what a dick move, though. Sugar Bowl allows both schools, EVEN when LSU plays here, and opposing fans bitch about it being an LSU home game.

So, I guess this means we won't get to hear Tiger Band at all then since they never play in the stands anymore.


Which half time show are we going to get to see again?

We're just going to march in straight lines with our horns on the ground for 5 minutes.

At the UNC game in Atlanta this season both team bands got to do a pre-game.

Couldn't resist.
