Does the band travel to any away games?
YES. The band goes on one major trip each fall. We often travel to an away game such as Boise State or the University of Montana. Occasionally we travel to other venues such as NFL games (Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers) and CFL games (Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver).
Is there a COLOR GUARD or FLAG TEAM?
YES! The band's color guard is an active section that specializes in flag maneuvers and dance routines. Good coordination and previous experience are a plus! Contact Barb Kirchmeier for more details.
