Is this an AD decision or the communist school of musics decision?

The SOM seems like it’s been sucking the Tiger Band dry the last few years.

I never once cared or even heard the band playing once the game started.


Did you like crowd noise?
When the band plays, the crowd gets hype, the players hear crowd and get hype. On top of that, pregame, kick offs, 3rd down etc

You really think the players on the field care about the band being in the stands and need them to boost them up?


Of course not, but that’s not the point.it’s just crazy they can pay our coaches the salary they get along with buying out d coordinators but not for a trip to la

The game is at the Rose Bowl. UCLA hasn’t played at the Colosseum for a long time

Well absolutely it gives a boost


Not really,it’s better for them to be there then not but if you aren’t playing as hard as possible anyway then you will get pulled. It’s nice to have for the overall experience and for the guys not playing and fans,but trust me ,you are going all out or you won’t play for long anyway

I’ll rephrase the first message I made on this page. They may care and want them to be playing at full capacity or at least as a small contingency like they sometimes send, but it doesn’t impact performance

Brooks Kubena:

Just spoke with Kelvin Jones with the #LSU band. He confirmed they won't travel for UCLA. But the decision was made two months ago, back when there were still logistical questions. The Rose Bowl hadn't announced yet that it was 100% capacity.

Story coming soon on this for clarity. They will travel in some capacity for every other game. They just had to make a budget decision at the time, Jones said, and there were too many questions.

Someone give Odell Beckham a call, I bet he would pay it.

Why couldn’t this have happened for the 2018 A&M game instead

I told y'all several weeks ago on another GBBFTL thread that they were not going. Too far and too expensive for an OOC game.

The LSUAD about to be challenged though if they don't send the the FULL BAND to at least one big SEC game.
Which one? That should be a No Brainer!

Where's the NIL ruling for the band members? Find some corporate dollars for them to go. All they'll have to do is put on uniforms with the names of all their sponsors instead of their school. What could go wrong?

I don’t think they want us to donate or they would have accepted these type donations in the past. Read the first part of this thread

Band members aren’t student athletes. Nil is for student athletes.

Complain to them every day. Have an automatic email drafted to send at 8AM every morning.

LSU Alumni in L.A. need to flip out on them. That is what the Seattle alumni did for UW and they changed their mind.

We can spend 3 million on a women’s basketball coach but we can’t send our band to a football game in the rose bowl??

Pathetic
