Another instructional improvement grant allowed music media students to record a band made up of ULL students at the Dockside Studio, the premiere professional facility in our area. Chris Stafford, one of the leaders, took four Music Media classes. A promotional DVD entitled Live From The Blue Moon was made for the group combining the two songs we recorded, along with interviews and concert recordings recorded by the students at the Blue Moon Saloon and Festivals Acadienes et Créoles. Tracks from one of the songs we recorded, Les jours sont longs, were incoporated into the CD En couleurs, and finished by engineer Ivan Klisanin (who was a Music Media major, MM Theory/Comp student, and Graduate Assistant), a critically well-received album released in 2010, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Cajun and Zydeco album.

The Acadiana Arts Council, Lafayette Consolidated Government, Friends of the Humanities, Center for Culture and Eco-Tourism, the College of the Arts, the Lafayette Convention & Visitors Commision, and private donors financed the DVD, From La La to Zydeco. Students helped with the recording and mixing. The disk was published by the Center for Louisiana Studies in 2005 and deposited in libraries throughout the state. Half the songs were recorded by Music Media students at ULL and videotaped by students from SLCC, as we did not have our own video cameras at that time.
