Cornhusker marching band exhibition 2022

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN)- Hundreds of Husker fans packed one side of Memorial Stadium on Friday to watch this years Cornhusker marching band.

For the last week, the band has been putting in 9 hours a day at band camp getting ready for the first performance.

The assistant director of bands told me there are a lot of new faces this year.  On Friday, they were able to showcase their talents and be cheered on by their friends, family and alum.

Many of the tiny fans were dressed up in their best Husker gear, and were even recognized by some band staff as the next generation of the Husker marching band.

“I think for me the most exciting thing is when they come out of the tunnel, pre-game, the first few notes, then hearing the crowd join in with the “go huskers” and “go big reds”, just kind of the pageantry of the whole thing,” said Doug Bush Assistant director of bands.

Since the Husker football team kicks off the season in Dublin on August 27th, the marching band will be sending a 50 piece pep band to Ireland for the Northwestern game.

They will then perform at all 7 home games this season.

The band plans to bring back husker classics while also staying up to date on current trends.
