Anyone who was at the Homecoming game last Saturday surely must join me in thanking our wonderful Marching Mizzou band for being a highlight of the game and the day.

We drove from Minnesota for the game and were not about to leave early from the only game we will be able to attend all year. As the numbers of fans in the stands dwindled in the second half, our Mizzou band continued to play and help keep our Missouri spirits up.

Those of us who stayed and continued to cheer on our Tigers truly appreciated the band hanging in there and inspiring us until the very end! Thank you Marching Mizzou for staying with us to the end and for making us proud to be Tiger fans and alums!
