You just know some SJW's are going to blow a gasket over this.

quote:

The young women who make it onto the teams for LSU's Golden Girls and Colorguard become part of the university's Tiger Band, an organization that is "a source of pride to thousands of LSU students, alumni, fans, faculty, and administration," according to its 2017 handbook and syllabus.

The difference, however, between those women and the rest of the band is they can only gain or lose 5 pounds of weight from the day they make the teams through the rest of the year they remain part of it. T

he weight restriction, which Colorguard and Golden Girls members must acknowledge for the 2018-19 academic year by signing a participation agreement, is enforced through "pre-performance weigh ins conducted by" instructors, the agreements read.


quote:

Membership forms on the audition website for the 2018 Tiger Band ask that students hoping to make the Colorguard and Golden Girls teams also submit a headshot, a request absent from the forms for other parts of Tiger Band. That request, Guillaume said, is to help her "put a face with the name" when providing feedback to students.

That’s surprising about the color guard. Some of those girls are pushing 300, easy.

Honestly when I knew the girls in high school were supposed to maintain a certain weight to stay on the team I knew at some point this would not fly. This was 20 years ago.

It's been that way for the last 30+ years that I know of. They know the rules when they sign up. The only thing I have trouble with is the 5 pound rule. I think it should be 7-10. No telling how much a woman is going bloat up at certain times of the month.

Its like this for alot of college dance teams.

I went to school with a girl that went on to a college dance team. Danced 3 years, and was lined up to be the dance captain for the senior year..she gained a little weight on her backside (which was amazing looking) in the off season , and didn't make weight requirements.

The school damn near rioted, but its all about the image.

I don't know. SJWs usually hate the cheerleaders and football players because they're jealous. They may leave this one alone.

I don't see the problem with weight restrictions on things like this where physical fitness is required to do the job. Its not like they're asking for headshots to get a a student job in the campus library

If there is a protest scheduled can somebody please invite a lot of sky screamers. I have missed them lately.
