Ptigers

The funny thing is...there are actually videos of said bad sound but since you want to be a smart arse, I was specifically talking about all the negative reviews and things you’ve been hearing. Point blank. I want to see you post all of the negative reviews by people and I will post five favorable ones for every bad one you post. And as for all of the awards, 90% of what you just listed was from Wickes and Moorhouse and are awards you can only win once (the Sudler trophy, being inducted into the Louisiana music hall of fame) or events that were held one time (the All-American college tv band, ESPN battle of the bands, appearing in Everybody’s All-American), so to try and use the past accolades of the organization as a measuring stick to what’s going on now doesn’t really work as those awards couldn’t be attained again no matter who was the director. Also I believe you’re confused on tiger band performing in Hong Kong because I believe the Golden Girls went to Hong Kong and tiger band’s first international trip was actually to Ireland (which if you want to pay the bill to send the band back, by all means do...I know that year we didn’t get our stipend to help cover the expenses of the trip...).

As far as what the current directors are doing, they were invited to present at the 2017 College Band Directors National Association conference for the NOLA halftime show (which again, was NOT the same as the Baton Rouge show), as well as the 2018 Southeastern Collegiate Band Directors National Association Regional conference for the Fight Night show. (Also, wind ensemble has been invited to perform at the 2019 National CBDNA conference-not tiger band, but still falls under the new band faculty who ‘isn’t doing anything’.

Bruh...literally nothing was the same in the show... I marched it. Lol

ANNNND you’re back with the complaining about the band, like you have been the past few years ever since Roy left and seem to have nothing better to do. Tiger band has a good class coming in this year and they’ll be fine. And since you want to to talk about the staff not being competent, why don’t you go and watch some of the halftime shows from this past year and compare it to what was on the field 2013-2015. Almost every halftime show from those years is repeated from exactly five years beforehand, vs this year, where all of the shows were brand new (including the military tribute show that had over 11 MILLION views alone). For once since 2013 (My first year in band), it was nice to have people applauding the halftime shows besides the military tribute show. You may not agree with how Roy was fired but Everyone was sick and tired of watching halftime shows where 2 small boxes would turn into a big boxes, which would turn into parallelograms, and throw in some curves and lines. College marching band is about entertainment and if the crowd isn’t enjoying your shows then you’re not doing your job. Period.

Is anyone willing to make one of the change.com petitions or something and have it sent to the AD/sound engineer, etc? I feel like it’s worth a shot...

Kinda like when A&Ms band played while the band was playing pregame on the field during the 2013 game? Or like every other visiting band playing during the fourth quarter tribute when they come to Baton Rouge?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Llinas been there since 2012?

Also, I think you missed my link to the pregame video from two years ago, would you care to elaborate?

They started working on this show the week of the Wisconsin game, not during camp. ??

If you want to discuss "gleaming errors" in pregame, here's a video from two years ago when people were stopping on the wrong yard lines coming out of the endzone. It's the first pregame, Roy didn't make a big deal out of it, heck he even made a joke out of it to not try and embarrass the people who did it.

Incorrect, the band played the full version of tiger rag after playing "presto" for touchdowns for the past two years. But you know everything about tiger band so that's fine.

If Llinas is in over his head, why did Roy let him run almost every single music rehearsal while he was there? And I've known Llinas for the last five years and he's never spoken down to me so maybe you don't know him like I know him...anywho, at least Llinas didn't leave his concert ensemble for a concert to go do FMEA and let the graduate assistants take over the entire concert...
