And, what was that woman carrying flowers for years? Quick, somebody, tell me a name? "Col" Butler was a misogynists who didn't allow women in his band for years. Never served a second in the miltary so why they title? DOC made the band into what it is today. Loved his direction at honor bands. He understood the relationship between music and entertainment. The band grew from 128 members to over 300 during his "reign" as director. He made the band what it is today.

"Col" Butler retires after 34 years! Thank god. Now, the band can be entertaining!

Butler was a misogynist and an idiot. How can anybody give him any credit. He didn't know music. The million dollar band under his tutelage was a bore and stupid. Dr. Ferguson brought the million dollar band into the 20th century and made half times interesting. I had the privielge of being in several honor bands and band camps with Doc. Two of my band directors in high school were his students. THEY taught me music. I ignored the MDB when butler was there. not even a real colonel.

Sorry for the multiple replies. Computer issues.

@JMIX0606 The MDB tape is wrong. The stadium in that picture is definitely Tiger Stadium. Bama hasn't played TCU since 1975.

@Ktheblackdiamond I strongly agree to what you say.

That's not TCU at roughly 9:30. It's LSU. Also, what's up with the use of UGA's Glory, Glory? Regardless, entertaining video.

@wrhodestider Oh really? I looked a million times at the 1998 VHS Tape when I did this. I was pretty sure that this was TCU. I must've missed this small detail. UGA's Glory? What part of the video?

@wrhodestider After looking at the VHS 1998 Million Dollar Band Tape, it had in the red captions "Alabama vs TCU."
