They played it twice on fourth down Saturday when State was going for it and then converted.

They did it against FSU too, and I remember them making a field goal on one occasion.

Band: Chinese Bandits is to be played only when the ball is going back to LSU. Punts, turnovers, and turnovers on downs. Not just because it’s a fourth down.

They played 1st down cheer once when it clearly wasn’t as well.

OMG, are you telling me that they don't even know when to play Bandits.

That's pretty bad.

They have been terrible this year. They routinely play the wrong song for the wrong down.

They are tiny and weak compared to most other SEC bands. Even Moo State's band is bigger and louder. They rarely play at home games (not their fault), and when they do, they are routinely drowned out by opposing bands. They don't play the stands chants/ cheers correctly, they play the National Anthem and Fight Song too fast, and play the Alma Mater too slow.

For free tickets, transportation, room/board, and $500 per game I will be the band spotter. My qualifications are that I’ve gone to LSU games for 30+ years.

Someone get me in touch with the band.

Huey Long recognized the need for a great band and placed them under them financially under the athletic department. A few years ago or more the band was placed financially under the music department and much of the financial needs of the band were eaten away by the folks in the music department. So it’s the music department vs the marching band when it comes to the funding. I think most here could care less about the music department but damn sure want the “million dollar” band back. Tiger band is at the bottom of the SEC. Even if they do everything technically and musically correct on a halftime performance there size prohibits the sound and overall visual enjoyment necessary for tiger stadium or comparison to other sec bands.

This thread is on point. The band this season has been playing the songs at the wrong times. Once or twice is a mistake, multiple times in 3 different f games is incompetence.

I noticed at least 3 times while at FSU game. Once for field goal and twice when they went for it on 4th down
