UW Varsity Band Concert - "Songs To Thee Wisconsin"

[@pheasantcountryinn]

My son fell in love with the State of Wisconsin while attending Northwestern Military Academy in Lake Geneva and now is a permanent resident.

I have to stand and sing "Varsity" each time I watch this. So many happy memories of my time. Class of '72.

A Fantastic Spectacle of sight and sound. What a special time to be young and healthy ! Even the old Director is young as he displays vim and vigor.

[@suzettelove4mj16ackerman5]

That Director is non other than Professor Mike Leckrone whom was at the helm of the band for over 50 years

@@suzettelove4mj16ackerman5 Thank you for your contribution. I am aware after seeing the Madison PBS special on him. He brought a pep band to the Hockey games too. Anyone who appreciates University Band Music was privileged to be there in that special time in history. Greetings from Rockford Illinois 20 miles from the Cheddar Curtain. LOL!

I like "Songs to Thee, Wisconsin", yet I want to know the lyrics to this piece, since I do not know the last part of the song. Other than that, loved watching this video of this outstanding marching band. On Wisconsin!

Hopefully the new director brings some new music with him

[@jschroeder2761]

Sadly you don't appreciate what Mike Leckrone meant to the UW. So what same jokes and music he is an amazing man and he will be missed.
