Saw Texas A&M, a few Alabama schools, Tulane and some others.

Maybe I just missed them??

Especially with the payout you get
It's a nice way to make some money for the program

It's Ed Orgeron's fault somehow.

Since Neck has been banned it's not worth it

They have.

The logistics of 325 members being from all over the country and off on break makes it both difficult and expensive.

Not their full band, huh? Where?

LSU's full band was in Rex after the 2003 NC.

They pretty much only do it when LSU makes it to the title game. Don’t think that will happen for awhile

Usually in Rex every few years. Why not every year ? Lack of effort by Rex and other crews and/or LSU. Prolly most students want to be in the crowd so it's frowned upon.

Let’s see now, how to put this tactfully:

Other parade performers have a lot more rhythm than the LSU band.

The lsu administration diverted the money for band travel to pay for renovations to the college of diversity

I bet LSU charges a lot more than high school bands. Krewes like to spread the money around to the high schools, whose budget depends on the parades.
