Bronco band trying to march on through the absence of fall college football

If 2020 was a normal year, Bronco Marching Band director Dr. Trey Harris may have been checking his voicemail on his phone on a Sunday morning to listen to a few complaints from Kalamazoo residents as to why the band was outside practicing at 5:30 a.m. the previous day.

That would be a normal football Saturday outside Waldo Stadium on a game day, where traditionally, the band is out early, the restaurants around the stadium are jam packed while students and alumni wake up in the early hours of the morning to tailgate in various areas around the stadium.
