UW Varsity Band
Kohl Center 601 W. Dayton St. , Madison, Wisconsin 53703
This annual concert is always a spectacle, featuring the 300 members of the beloved UW Marching Band, pyrotechnics, star athletes, Bucky Badger — and the maestro himself, Mike Leckrone, who has led the band for an astonishing 48 years. Another reason this concert is special: It’s the centennial year of Camp Randall, where many of the band’s traditions ( including the Fifth Quarter) have become institutionalized. Our sources have told us that Leckrone is cleared for “flying” this year (open-heart surgery kept him grounded last time). It will be a nostalgic and raucous event for Badgers fans. Suggested attire: Red and white.
