Some 250 former Tiger Band members returned to campus for the 30th Tiger Alumni Band reunion in October, getting together for a weekend of activities highlighted by one more “Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium” with the Golden Band from Tigerland.

Following a Friday Golden Girls luncheon and evening social, an early Saturday rehearsal, and a pre-game party at the PMAC, reunion-goers joined current Tiger Band members for a halftime performance at the LSU vs. Southern Mississippi. A family affair – Mindy McCue McRee, Ryan McCue, Connor McCue, and Reggie McCue.

We Support Beth - “There is an uplifting story behind these pictures, writes Beth Breaux Thompson. “I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January. Since then, I have been through surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and radiation therapy is in progress. My Tigerette ‘sisters’ have backed me up all year with a steady stream of cards, notes, and prayers that lifted my spirits. I wasn't well enough to march, but I was well enough to cheer for my fellow band alumni at the reunion. The picture is the of Tigerettes making a living breast cancer ribbon. That’s me in the middle holding a sign made by Lori Summerford Newsome.”
