The audience consists of young and old, all anticipating one thing—a victory. Nonetheless, the Campeonate chime 1:15. The scoreboard flashes "Go Big Blue," and the long-rehearsed act begins.

Hard work pays off for KU marching band
Fans are on their feet, anticipating the opening tunes that traditionally signify that the Jayahwaks are ready to play.
the piano. The run-in is one of few University band traditions, remaining this year. Pre-game songs and chants and the sunflower formation also will continue of this year's material is completely new, and would come to Tom Schmidt, assistant band director.
The single line of drummers standing on the goal line looks small. At a signal from their leader, however, the drummers go into action, and the busy hum of football fans ceases almost immediately. The streams of base ball drummers come high above the bleachers in the horseshoe and onto the field, in time to the rapid beat of the drums.
"THE RUN-IN gets people on their feet and gets an immediate reaction," he said. "Enthusiasm circulates right away when a band this size comes running into the field."
KU's band schedule includes halftime entertainment for the Oct. 16 Kansas City Chiefs game in Arrowhead Stadium, a performance Oct. 17 in Royalts Stadium, a football game with a collaborative invitation to a World Series game if the Royals play in the series.
The schedule also includes parents' day, band day and alumni day performances on KU's homecoming week. Students and two pep band appearances at Nebraska and Iowa State universities.
"This year's schedule is a bit different because the season starts with two away games," Stidham said. "The first home
BAND MEMBERS practice about nine hours a week, which is two hours on each of four nights and an hour before each game. Two hours of band credit are given and are generally used for elective classes; cording to Stidham it should be required to attend almost continuously each Saturday home game from 10 a.m. until 4:30 or 5 p.m.
appearance will be the high school band day, and the second and third appearances will be the alumni band day and parents' day performances."
THE INEFORMOS ARE supplied and cleaned by the University. Members check them out during the season and are responsible for their upkeep.
More than 300 students tried out for the band this year, according to Stidham. The present marching number of 216 is supplemented by 30 alternates, who march when band members are not bothered. There is some amount of time as other band members and normally get to perform once or twice during the season.
"We've only marched with a hole once in the last two years, and that was at last year's Sun Bowl when one of the members had a berna during pre-game warm-up." Studham. "We try to fit everyone at least once. The only person who didn't perform last year didn't have a uniform that would fit him."
The average half-time show this year will last to 10 to 12 minutes unless there is a visiting band, when each band will march for eight minutes. On away games, KU's entire band goes only if there is a performance. In cases where a perp band makes the trip, usually to 100 volunteers make the trip, Stidham said.
The marching size of the band is about the same as last year's, Sidham said. "We did cut six people from the flag team," he said. "We're going for quality, not quantity, and we didn't have as many tryouts as in the past."
