Sixty-eight trombones, 111 trumpets, 23 tubas, and three Bucky Badger costumes will hurtle across the skies today in a Boeing 747, bound for California.
The Badgers are already in Los Angeles for the Rose Bowl. But the crucial supporting players depart from Dane County Regional Airport Tuesday: the UW Marching Band, the spirit squad, and, of course, Bucky.
