I did notice that The Marching Chiefs were absent in Louisville this year. Odd.

Yes, Tiger Band was in Doak Campbell. Could you not hear

them blaring Tiger Rag throughout the game and the alma mater at the end?
FSU Marching Chiefs welcome visitors in their pre-game show by playing the visiting team fight song. It's a nice gesture. Other bands do that as well (e.g., The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band).

I recall UNCs band doing this for us up in Chapel Hill one time in the mid-90s.

Now that you mention it , yes I do. Found it odd that the Chiefs played Tiger Rag. Nice gesture. Found it more odd that they were not in Kentucky. Hope it wasn't because Louisville did not accommodate them. The Chiefs are very impressive but don't try to tell that to the Million Dollar band. They think very highly of themselves.

Most schools only send their full band to one regular season

away game each year. So it is not a surprise they didn't send the band to Louisville.
Clemson is very fortunate and highly unsual. Clemson sends at least a pep band to every away game. We sent the full band to three of our five away games (at Auburn, at Georgia Tech, and at Florida State). That is virtually unheard of these days.

It helps that Clemson is very centrally located. Tallanasty is only ~6 hrs bus, while the virginia schools are similar. GT, Louisville, and all the NC schools are the same or less. I know when I was in band we flew ~30 people to aTm and Miami, and sent larger contingents to the other games the full band didn't travel to.

I've been told that (at least a couple of years ago) that Clemson was 1 of 2 schools in the country that sends the band (full or pep) to every game. The other school was LSU.

I didn't know that Clemson is one of very few schools that sends the whole band to multiple away games and at least a Pep Band to all away games. I have really pleased to see that here.
I love it that our band is there at all our games. 'The Band' is an important part of the collegiate football gameday experience and I think it adds a lot of the game, inspires the fans and shows direct student involvement in the games beyond what the athletes do.
I was there at the game Saturday night and I loved seeing and hearing Tiger Band there.
Go Tiger Band!

That's one of the Marching Chief's traditions.

They play the fight song of the visiting school to welcome their fans. Kinda neat.
