For those who don't know the history behind this sign, here's a little of trivia. In 1970, the Chevrolet company sponsored an All-American College TV Band contest which LSU's Tiger Band won. The ONLY year the contest was ever held. Chevrolet wanted to send the band to San Francisco to perform in the Shriner's Bowl halftime show, but LSU won a bid to the Orange Bowl the same weekend. So Tiger Band was flown to Miami to march in the Orange Bowl parade and halftime of the Orange Bowl. Then the next day, Chevrolet flew the entire band to San Francisco for the Shriner's Bowl. Sometime afterward, the Pledge Class of Kappa Kappa Psi (National Honorary Band Fraternity) created the first sign that was hung in this spot. The original sign also had the names of the pledges listed at the bottom. I was in Tiger Band in the late 1980s and know that original sign was still there then. This sign replaced it sometime afterward.
