Tiger Band was meh....

When the band director and the grad students were sitting around a table filled with half-empty beer bottles and pizza boxes, it no doubt seemed like a "great idea" to incorporate a video of the “history” of Mike the Tiger into the performance. But this only shows the limitations of drunken music majors.
Two things stand out: First was the incomprehensibility of the video and the story it told. (What do dinosaurs have to do with the Hobbit or the racing scene from Grease?!?)
Second was the fact that—with the exception of those who had excused themselves to powder their noses or visit the Chute—all eyes in the stadium were glued to the Jumbotron. They saw the video, they understood the individual scenes, but could make neither heads nor tails of what they were seeing. What they were NOT doing was actually looking at the band.
If that was the band director’s intention, then only one thing remains to be said: Well done, Lad….well done.

LSU's halftime shows have been 10,000 x better than they were before with this new band director, so I think they get a pass. Besides, nobody saw this one anyway since it took the whole halftime to stand in line and get a bag of hot nuts and a Coke with Aramark's efficiency.

Since we can’t bitch and moan like teenage girls about the team, I guess it’s time to move into the band. LOL

beat the #2 team in the country...complains about the band director

I think the band's halftime performances have been great lately. Way better than the 230th edition of latin night and some of the other boring shite they did in the past.

I was briefly entertained/amused. Which I think is the point of halftime shows.

Half time performances for the last two years have been outstanding.
In game music selection, meh.
How can we play that entire, stadium rocking game on Saturday and not at any point get an extra "Pregame" thrown in at some point? I mean, at some point in the 4th quarter when LSU was putting the game away would have been an excellent time to keep the crowd going.

The band was able to get 18-23 year old girls and guys to sing/chant about sucking dicks. That is a win for the band in the Rant’s eyes.
The 1/2 time performances have been way better lately, too.

TGBFTL always plays ‘Pre-Game” when the 3rd Qtr clock reads 0:00. It’s been a tradition for many many years. It’s generally played in the 4th qtr during a time out if/when when the fans/team need some pumping up in a close game.
As for stands tune music selection, at least they aren’t playing “Hang on Sloopy” 1000 times.

Yes, I am aware of this.

This is more what I was speaking to. In the past the band has played it during timeouts before very crucial plays in the last minutes of the game.

The band's halftime shows are definitely better--not 10,000x better--but better. This show....not so much.
And of course we have the rantards who couldn't care less about halftime shows but get sand in their vagina whenever they meet someone who does.
The mediocrity is strong with this fanbase.

The new band director is so much better. I don't care if one or two shows a season aren't as good as the rest.
At least we're not getting "Latin Flair" like 4 times a season like we used to.

I swear we used to play that and West Side Story at least 3 times a year.

I was directly across from the band and could barely hear them at any time. I did not hear any of half time show.

Tiger Band is not as loud as they used to be, that's an undisputable fact. I can hear them from my seats before the game, but once the crowd fills in, I can barely even tell they are playing.

I like that we make identifiable shapes now.
