Tiger Band going through the preseason grind ...

Let's take a minute to appreciate all the hard work Tiger Band members put in to preparing for the season. They are working from before 9 AM to after 9:30 PM in the hot weather.
Thank you for all the work you put in Tiger Band. We love and appreciate you.
Cannot wait to hear the first live Tiger Rag this year. Learn it well, because I suspect you will be playing it A LOT!

I feel safe in saying there isn’t a Tiger fan anywhere who isn’t 110% behind the great Tiger Marching Band. wish that we could still hear “Dixie” but that all behind us I guess! That and the country gentleman are two traditions that I really miss. And you do too!

I heard the Ole Miss band play Dixie and it gave me chills. It is such a beautiful, moving tune, it's too bad all the baggage that is associated with it means it is no longer an option.

Bought Ole Miss Band CD years ago. FROM DIXIE WITH LOVE is beautiful and might be my favorite rendition of DIXIE!
Would anyone know how to listen to TIGER RAG rendition from late 50’s or early 60’s. It was a longer version with nothing but trombones and tubas in the middle??? Thanks

Amen. We have a top notch band at our local HS and I've seen how hard they work during the other kids fall sports. The other day I'm over picking up my gran daughter from a mid day 90 degree tennis practice. The percussion group is over in the shade of a tree working for a couple of hours. Marching band kids at all levels work very hard.

If you're "fit" to march forward, sideways, backwards & do a 360*..

AND play an instrument like an orchestra member, practice 5 days a week for hours, be able to remember intricate formations, be able & willing to ride & fly thousands of miles, take orders, get along with several hundred peoples, be dedicated to playing Tiger Rag hundreds of times til you're purple, etc..then TBand may want you!
Saying, it's not easy & fans should give those kids 110% attention, support & admiration.
Go TiGER BAND..ROCK!

I was in my HS band lo these many years ago, and my only serious regret (besides about half of all of the beer I consumed) was not being in the Tiger Band when I was there.

We can hear them practicing all the way at the marina when the conditions are right.
