The Golden Band From Tigerland

One of my favorite parts of being at the LSU football games is to watch and listen to the LSU Tiger Marching Band. They are also known as the Golden Band From Tigerland, and they are incredible! When you hear all of those instruments blasting Fight For LSU or Hey Fighting Tigers, who could not love the Golden Band From Tigerland? The LSU Tiger Stadium fills up with their sounds. The entire crowd sings along with them. It's awesome!

Here are some neat facts that I found about the LSU Tiger Marching Band (the Golden Band From Tigerland):
