Welcome to the Official Web Site of the LSU Bands!

Thank you for your interest in the LSU Bands. With a long history of success, the Band program at LSU offers many types of opportunities and ensembles for students to continue playing their instruments while in college. Not only does participation in a college ensemble build instant friendships, but one can also pursue an interest of the heart while earning college credit. As you pursue your career goals as a student at LSU, we hope that you will want to experience a truly special musical tradition. We are very proud of our program and we strongly believe in the educational and social values that band offers. You do not have to be a music major to participate in the LSU Bands. 80% of Tiger Band is comprised of non-music majors. Note: Full tuition scholarships are available to non-music majors who live outside of Louisiana (Tiger Band Golden Oaks Scholarship).
