Man... you sound really dumb. The band isn’t in Arizona yet. Not traveling yet saves them a bunch of money. Let’s say band is 325. 4 members to a room. That’s 81 rooms. Let’s say another 8 rooms for managers, graduate assistants etc. then another 3 rooms for the directors. (The number for managers and directors is an estimate). 92 rooms at let’s call it $150.00 is almost $14,000.00. Let’s say the per diem for that one extra day is $50.00 per band member, manager, graduate assistant, and directors. We’ll call it 360 people total. That’s $18,000.00.

That’s around $32,000.00 the university saves and that’s a conservative estimate. Not to mention busses for an extra day etc.

Band nerd. This band IS NOT IMPORTANT FOR WINNING GAMES. Preparation, discipline,execution wins games.
UCF is gonna run roughshod over this defense.
Don’t worry, there will be no running game either. Burrow will need to control the game to shorten it.

But it is a part of what makes college football generally, and LSU in particular, special.

Anyway, this is probably a funding issue. Which is all of our fricking faults for electing retards who don't fund our schools.

I live in the Phoenix area and had no idea the Fiesta Bowl had a parade. I can't imagine that many people outside of Phoenix know this. People my daughter's age don't even know what the Macy's Parade is anymore.

Maybe we aren’t a high school parade band. We play for the football team. We don’t play for parades. When is the last time you’ve seen LSUs band in a parade.

This is one so called nationally televised parades that I’ve never heard of.

I was pulling for you. I hoped you would post something insightful or original or funny. I'm sorry you failed on all counts.

Maybe you can come back with a "Les Miles has lost control of" or "it will never be ready in time" post.

If the UCF Band marches in that parade and TGBFTL doesn't, the stuff will hit the fan! You can't just casually skip the Fiesta Bowl Parade. Unacceptable! (GBFTL Alum here)

Sauce told me the no. 1 trumpet, two snares, and a flute are skipping the bowl game to protect their draft stock.

Words hurt, Bill. Especially from someone of your stature. I mean, who can forget your performance as the 3rd chair prickolo marching in the Loreauville High School homecoming parade in 1978?

does the band still play real instruments or just have wireless speakers hidden in their instruments playing piped-in music?
