This is a terrible decision. Traditionally, each university is represented in the parade by their band (like the Rose Bowl parade). The Tiger Band staff should be ashamed of themselves for "skipping out" of this prestigious event. This is a "black eye" for the university. Embarrassing. Sad.

Nationally televised parade. UCF band will be there representing their school. Massive recruiting opportunity missed. It's a big deal.

The flautists are hoping to go pro and didn’t want to risk their emboucher. I mean, if someone came up from behind and slapped them on the back while marching, their face could stick like that! Then what? No pro Jethro Tull cover band career for a meaningless parade?

Really? That's a pretty terrible decision if so. Marching in parades is miserable but they really should be doing it



The band is a joke these days

While it kinda sucks, so does marching in long parades. It is not enjoyable in the least. With as much as they typically have the band doing on bowl trips, I’m not surprised. Also. this isn’t the Rose Parade we are talking about here.

What are the reasons behind LSU not participating?

Is Tiger Band still a thing? The band is like 250 people now and a shell of its former self.

You would have to ask them. I can't think of a good reason.

No it isn’t. It’s only televised on a local PHX station. Anyone outside of PHX area has to watch online.
