SATURDAY: UW-L Screaming Eagles marching band adds 450 from surrounding high schools
Combined bands will play pregame and halftime shows at Memorial Field
It’s going to be a packed house Saturday on Veterans Memorial Field, and not because of fans or players.
About 450 students from 10 surrounding high schools in the tri-state area will take the field at halftime to perform with the UWL Screamin’ Eagles marching band. The combined bands will play a pregame and halftime show.
“We have two-hour rehearsal designated Saturday morning,” UW-L band director Tammy Fischer said. “During that time we’ll rehearse five songs.”
Fans can expect to hear a wide range of music from Pitbull to Daft Punk to Metallica.
The Eagles (2-0) host Carroll (1-1) beginning at 3 p.m.
