These weren't just any students either, they were a group of involved student leaders from every college and department. Marching Band also provided the unique opportunity to watch Wildcat Football from the front row of then KSU Stadium. I also got to take part in a once-in-a-lifetime trip to San Diego. We played at Sea World and at the port of a USN aircraft carrier. I'll never forget marching down "Mainstreet USA" at Disneyland." |
