Marching Band Performs in Bandarama Concert Nov. 1

Love marching band music but you're not a football fan?

The Big Red Marching Machine, Illinois State University's marching band, will present its annual Bandarama concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1, in Braden Auditorium.  Tickets are $5 for adults, and seniors and student tickets are $3, available at the Braden box office.   

Bandarama gives members of the marching band an opportunity to perform parts of this season's programs, as well as perennial fan favorites, in a non-marching, concert format. The music will range from John Williams to The Blues Brothers and from Neil Diamond to The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dan Belongia is director of the Big Red Marching Machine.
