Ten-hut! A retiree joins the LSU marching band

from Condensed Soup · host Lulu Picart

What do you do after retiring from accounting? If you're Kent Broussard, you learn the tuba from scratch and march into LSU's student band… at 65 years old. It's not just a story about brass and boldness—it's about why the only real failure is not trying. We get into marching band memories (including one fainting incident), the drilldown, and why marching and musical theatre are NOT in step.
