Band Marches Back to UW-River Falls

The Marching Falcons are back at UW-River Falls.

The school fielded a marching band this year, for the first time in 33 years. Band director Tom Barnett says he’s heard from students for years that they’d like to come to River Falls, but there wasn’t a band. The new band has 56 members, who had just five days of practice to get ready for last week’s football game. Band members say it’s a lot of fun to play together at college. River Falls last had a marching band on the field in 1990.
