User:Shadowblade/Bronco Marching Band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bronco Marching Band serves as the marching band for Western Michigan University. They perform the pre-game, half time, and post-game shows at every WMU football game, as well as a "pre pre-game" show. Also, at the end of every season, they perform a "Season in Review" show at Miller Auditorium.

The band is hailed at each game as "The Sound of Western, the Western Michigan University Bronco Marching Band."
