At the battle of the marching bands Monday in San Diego , the University of Arizona band creamed the University of Nebraska band.
Of course, the Pride of All Nebraska was back in Nebraska, creamed by winter weather.
“Something major was missing without the Cornhusker fight song,” said Gary Rectenwald, chairman of the Holiday Bowl’s college band committee.
And so with these words from Chancellor Harvey Perlman — We have to do something about this — Rectenwald did.
He knew another Nebraska band was in town. The Marching Knights of Lincoln Southeast.
How about those high school kids?
Perlman gave the go-ahead.
