MADISON, Wis. — While area residents braved traffic slowdowns and dug out from still more snow on Tuesday, the University of Wisconsin-Madison marching band proved that playing in the snow isn’t just for children.
Prepping for the Badgers appearance at the Outback Bowl in sunny Florida in January, the marching band practices three days during the week. On Tuesday, the band was practicing in the snow for about an hour. The band was practicing its routine for the bowl game on a snow-covered Waisman Center soccer field. The snow is a foot deep in some parts, WISC-TV reported.
