U-rah-rah! UW Band Spring Concert gives 8,000 fans their money’s worth. It took over 30 years, but somebody finally managed to make UW Varsity Band director Mike Leckrone look reserved and subdued by comparison.
As always, Leckrone was the energetic master of ceremonies at Thursday’s UW Band Spring Concert at the Kohl Center. He conducted the 200-piece orchestra, he sang “Hit the Road Jack,” he told bad jokes, he did the chicken dance and he soared over the heads of the crowd on a motorcycle.
