Dennis Llinas, director of the Golden Band from Tigerland and associate director of bands, will leave LSU for the University of Oregon to be director of bands there, according to a post by Llinas on Facebook.
The post read in part:
“Well now that the students know I guess it is time to make it Facebook official. I have accepted the Director of Bands position at the University of Oregon for the next year. I owe so much to LSU and will never forget the amazing students and faculty that I have grown so fond of the past seven years.”
Kelvin Jones, assistant director of bands, will serve as interim director, according to a report by The Reveille. Llinas became the Tiger Band director in 2016.
