LSU Student Basketball Band in the '70s

Smiley Anders for Dec. 1, 2011

Musical interlude

James R. Madden responds to a question about the name of the student band at long-ago LSU basketball games:

“In the mid-’70s, I played banjo with the informal LSU basketball band in the Assembly Center.

“I recall the group’s name being ‘The Court Jesters.’

“We were invited to participate in a Mardi Gras truck parade one year; it might have been in Algiers.”

(One word tells you all you need to know about this band: “banjo.”)
