BATON ROUGE - The Golden Band from Tigerland announced they were chosen as one of the top ten college marching bands by a national publication.

The Huffington Post listed the LSU marching band third in their list of top marching bands from 2011-2012. They said the schools on the list "have nurtured marching bands that always impress, always excite and always showcase their full talent."

"It is an honor to be in the company of the other marching bands who were selected," said LSU Director of Athletic Bands Roy King. "Congratulations to the directors, staff and students of these fine organizations for all the hard work they do to represent their universities in such a prestigious manner."
