With a few exceptions, songs are typically only played once per game, and Huber utilizes a computer program that organizes songs for different points of the game, including pregame, kickoffs, timeouts and official replay reviews. He works with LSU’s director of fan experience, Jason Suitt, to coordinate when to cue the marching band to play, when to play songs and when to let Tiger Stadium’s public address announcer, Dan Borné, speak to the crowd. “The only time we play music in-game is if the band is finished playing and there’s not enough time for another song.” “We would rather the band play the entire time than have us play, especially in-game,” Huber explains. ![]() Still, there will always be traditionalists, who prefer the marching band more than piped-in stadium music. He’s also credited with introducing Tiger Stadium to a clean version of Louisiana Ca$h’s “ I’m From Louisiana” to invigorate the student section during the opening kickoff. Throughout the game, Huber showers Tiger fans with “Turn Down for What,” “Jump Around,” the techno track “Sandstorm” and basically anything that will make Tigers fans stand up, dance and get crazy. When assembling each football season’s playlist, Huber draws inspiration from current Top 40 hits, while incorporating the Tiger Stadium musical staples: “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” and Mel McDaniel’s “Louisiana Saturday Night.” “I just happen to be a pretty big fan of music,” Huber says. When Huber became a graduate assistant, he was promoted to DJ in Death Valley during football games, despite having no formal disc jockey experience. ![]()
