Thanks so much for sharing! Proud of my Illini in the #micg and the whole #MarchingIllini and the band brought the energy to lead the FamILLy for an Illini Football victory!

This is the best thing I've seen or heard all year. YYZ makes a great band tune, it turns out.

I miss the Chief...I'm proud the fans haven't forgotten him.

The best thing to happen in IL in years...is from Canada 😂

Clearly musicians first, college students second. Performing Rush isn't going to help you score post-game.

tSoR was a good orchestration.

As the father of a former band member, I love this band ❤️
