Vanity page for non-notable group. There is no evidence in article as to why it is notable. Unsourced: None of the content is cited; In fact, G-Search indicates that the name may be used for many-a school band  Ohc  revolution of our times 22:23, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The one and only source does not have the band "featured" as claimed, it is a mere passing mention in a long list.  Being the "funniest band in the land" is not encyclopaedic information.  Rather, it is mere opinion of a sports magazine that has expertise in neither music nor humour.

I suggest that the title of the article "Band of Pride" be changed to "Louisiana Tech University Marching Band". Just as more than 30 other United States university marching bands have articles detailing their history on Wikipedia, this university band is certainly at least notable to the hundreds of thousands of alumni of the school and especially to the thousands of students who have been members of the band in over one hundred years of its existence. The slogan "Band of Pride" can be mentioned in the body of the article, since other marching bands also have used this slogan. 67.7.18.63 (talk) 16:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
