Despite the speculation that OSU could leapfrog us in the BCS rankings, we are still ahead of them(possibly thanks to OSU's not so great performance vs Iowa)! Now, the times for this week's games are finalized and we will be playing after OSU and MSU, which means that we will be finding out during the game what the Big Ten outlook is like. There's a tangible energy in the air around the band right now and it shows in the way we've been performing lately. This next week is not only the last home game for many of us but also the culmination of a great seasons worth of hard work on the football team's part and a seasons worth of cheering on the fan's and our part.
For those unfamiliar with band tradition, the last home game features a slightly extended half time show. After our regular selection of music, we salute the end of the season and the outgoing seniors and play the On Wisconsin March - One of the very few times we play that march all year. We look forward to celebrating with you.
Thanksgiving Saturday at 2:30pm; Get a ticket if you can. If you can't, watch for the game on TV. In any case, get ready to buy a bowl ticket - We can't wait to see you there!
