We had seats on the goal line, about 25 rows up from the field.  We could see the band from our seats, and sometimes we could actually hear them!     The Rice Band was unusual.  They were unusual when I was in school way back when.  Always fun to watch!  They were called a marching band, but they did not actually march!
