Getting your player ready...
When the players start hitting and the crowds start cheering at the BCS championship game, you can bet both LSU and Alabama fans will expect to hear their bands strike up the school song. There’s no doubt the game would lack something without LSU’s Golden Band from Tigerland and Alabama’s Million Dollar Band being part of the show. But The Advocate (Baton Rouge, La.) points out that a million dollars is probably pretty close to what it will cost to get both schools’ bands to the Jan. 9 showdown, housed and fed, including tickets to the game.
