Got a huge kick out of this. Footage of the Spartan Marching Band at the November 1980 home game against Ohio State. Performances include "A Stan Kenton Review" at halftime featuring Dick Shearer, a lead trombonist of the Stan Kenton Band. Songs performed by the band include Peanut Vendor, A Little Minor Booze, Here's That Rainy Day, and Malagueña. The Director of the Spartan Marching Band is Dave Catron, and the "Voice of the Band" is Tim Skubick.
