My son is a student at Notre Dame, and a member of the Marching Band. At least we get to see one group of ND students perform well on the field when we go to a game. :)
Fast-forwarding to 2008, I enjoyed the Notre Dame band's performance at the Coliseum last Saturday in their pre-game and halftime shows. This is their first appearance in the stadium at least since 1974, when I attended my first USC-Notre Dame game. They even serenaded us with a rousing rendition of our theme song, "Fight on."
