On Saturday, October 30, most students began their day by sleeping in. For the 150 members of OSUs marching band their day took a slightly different note. While the football team was in Arizona, the band hosted their annual marching band competition. 19 bands representing high schools from around the Willamette Valley braved the rain and descended on Reser Stadium in the early morning hours to begin the competition day. For the OSU band members, this was a day to show what it meant to be a college band in front of an audience who understood every detail. “These people come just to sec the bands. They get it. They understand what we're doing, said Brad Townsend, the band director. At the end of the day, the OSU band , dance team, and color guard gave one of their best performances of the year, a performance made even more memorable when the entire audience took to their feet at the end of the show.
