FCS Rotation (accidental Band thread)

[faninmonroe]

20% of LSU's 325 member band are majors. They also each receive a $1,000 service award on top of their scholarship.

LSU's band was having some real issues a couple of years ago....financial, leadership, etc.

Can you expand on that? We're talking specifically about marching band instruments of course. In other words, for sake of this discussion, we're excluding any vintage instruments used on the Beatles' Sargent Peppers album, or instruments that Pink Floyd might experiment with. Just saying....

We are talking Sousaphones, Mellophones, and Baritones. Trumpets are the really the only brass who are guaranteed a majority student owned instruments. The only one I'm not entirely sure of is Trombone.

Trombones are typically owned by the player, too.

King Mellophone - $2,100 each
Bach Trumpet - $1,600 each
Bach Trombone - $1,700 each
King Baritone - $2,300 each
King Sousaphone - $7,000 each
Conn Sousaphone - $9,000 each


Starting prices.


There are cheaper options if you want to sacrifice sound quality and durability.

Trumpets and many trombones that are just the basic slide with no thumb valve were student bought. The band typically provides the Melo phones, euphonium, and Tubas.
But Sound Structure is something that can't be bought. You have to have the right personnel to preach and teach it.
But I don't want to get into too pointed of a criticism of the band.

I'll go to Max's Pawn shop and see what they got

Who cares about "we lost the halftime band competition"! We won the freakin game. THAT is the only thing that will be recorded in the history books.

Glad to have you on the board. Many of us deal in veiled sarcasm. I'm sorry my post was not properly labeled.

However, the band and BB&B will continue to be great partners in social media discussions here.

Now do you understand, Heatrayguy?

Well, it's kind of hard to keep a Sousaphone hidden in your pants.

And the obligatory....

Some of you are prone to exaggeration. Took me all of 5 seconds to find this. Just saying.....

[HogDawg]

Some instruments cost more than some cars.

Meanwhile.....the cost of a brand new 2017 Toyota Camry is over 23K.

So, I think it's safe to assume that we settled the cost of a car vs a band horn question.

The state of Louisiana would NEVER allow such common sense to happen. They would direct them to a dealer selling for 5 times the cost.

This might be why . . .

Yeah, everybody knows the Chinese can't manufacture anything.

Do you know where your cell phone is manufactured?
