Just as Marshall football is gearing up for the start of its season against the Miami (Ohio) Red Hawks, the Marching Thunder is gearing up for its season as well with a new halftime show titled “Light ‘em Up.”
“Stepping out onto the field is a rush you really can’t explain to anyone else unless they experience it themselves,” Clarinet player Erin Fields said. “The first time we step out on the field for pregame and hear the crowd roar, it’s deafening. It’s amazing how our community has so much spirit for our school.”
Although Fields did not want to give too much away, she said the halftime show “definitely had some surprises” that have never been done in her time with the band.
