I’m biased here, but LSU has one of the best playing bands around.  Every member is on scholarship and has to tryout, no walk-ons.  If you listen to each band I think you can tell LSU sounds more like a symphony than a marching band.  The arrangement Auburn used wasn’t particularly great although they sounded good.  Florida and Georgia are pretty good too.
