TGBFTL seems like a shell of its former self. As an LSU fan this is very disheartening.

They have done this all season and not just the game vs. MSU.

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.

Who could have seen that coming?

I’ve noticed lately that the band is outplayed by every opposing schools band.

FSU blew TGBFTL out of the water in Orlando. It was sad.

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


I noticed this also. Irritated me. I think it was more than twice. They need to learn not to play it until the punt team comes on the field.

Sorry people have standards.

For years LSU had an award winning band. It isn’t winning awards right now. It is routinely being embarrassed by schools that never use to embarrass them.

Nobody is going after the kids. Just the people running it.

Yep, this isn’t an attack on the kids. It’s not their fault that the music school is ruining it. There needs to be a push from donors to take the band back into the athletic budget. We can adjust what we give back to the school as the price of taking back on the tiger band. This would be an easy fan win for Woody.

True!


At home all that DJ and blond noise left little space for the band.

OK, take your time and think about what you said here. If a person could care less about something, it inherently means they do care about it to a degree.

The new dean of the College of Music & Dramatic Arts, Eric Lau, took that position in July of this year. He is a Tiger Band alum and understands the importance of the band. I have confidence that things will change for the better under his leadership.

Most likely the drum major is a dumbass who doesn't know anything about football.

They’re not realizing the latest trend of going for it on 4th down, I imagine.

It isn't so much an attack on the kids as much as it is an attack on the leadership that has allowed the band to become an extreme shell of its former self. It started with not promoting Linda to Director way back in the 2000s. Roy was ok, but he was no Frank or Linda. And it has slowly progressively gotten worse since then.

I can tell you this right now - Frank would have given some pushback on the DJ bullshite, the pushing the band out the way while they play music over the loud system bullshite, and he would have that band about 3 times louder and much larger than what it is now. He was Tiger Band's Skip. They need to go out and get Tiger Band's Jay Johnson.

Volunteer band did the same last year. I voiced my displeasure on the TB FB alumni page and didn't go over well. There's a few more and more TB alumns starting to voice their negative opinion. I'm not doom and gloom with the band, but starting to see a bad pattern forming. I'm an TB alum and so is my son.

I think they probably got confused from the Cowbells. It was one time only.
