Description
UPDATE: This event has been cancelled, new date and time TBD.
This is a free, in-person event hosted by the Onalaska Public Library. No registration is necessary to attend.
When Mike Leckrone became director of the Wisconsin Marching Band, interest in the program was low. By creating a new, demanding marching style, “stop at the top”, a pre-game run on, and the development of the band’s “fifth quarter” post-game performances, he emphasized showmanship and turned the program around.
