Pics of Josh Marching at LSU

When the indoor football field is not being used by the football team, at LSU the marching band is able to use it. Apparently this happens for the game day rehersal. The following pictures are from the Golden Band rehersals on 9/26 and 9/27. Not all football teams allow marching bands to use their football field.
The first picture gives a sense of the full-sized of the indoor field.


Josh is in the following picture. He is just off the left shoulder of the Golden Girl who is closest to the camera.

Josh is clearly seen in the following picture. He is in the left third in the shorts with the double white strip.


Colleges, teams and bands develop a host of generations that are passed down from one generation to another. I received this photo. It appears to be some sort of marching band tradition, its history and meaning are unknown to me, so I have to leave it to Josh to give a comment on it.
While this shot taken from a great distance is fuzzy, Josh is the first row of trombones, four from the left, that was taken during the game on 9/27.

a wooden fish with a tie? at least it's better than the octopus that the red wings fans throw on the ice!

Yes, we use the IFF (Indoor football facility) for every gameday rehearsal. The first picture is from our halftime show at the Mississippi State game. The second one is when we're on the field waiting to begin pregame, and the third one is of us towards the beginning of pre-game, during the stadium salute. The fish is a trumpet tradition. They have a "keeper of the fish" who has the fish with them all the time at practice and all. Its kind of strange how obsessive the trumpets are over the fish.

How does one get to be "keeper of the fish?" Does one have to campaign, bribe people, or what?

Am I in the trumpet section? I don't know.
