LSU band to learn USC alma mater and fight song for Saturday’s game
COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO) — The Louisiana State University marching band will learn the University of South Carolina‘s fight song and alma mater.
The LSU band will play both songs during the pre-game festivities in Death Valley.
Roy King, LSU‘s athletic band director, confirmed the news on Wednesday.
South Carolina was forced to move the game from Columbia to Baton Rouge because of the historic flooding that took place in Columbia and across the state this week.
