Ep. 8 – More than Just Cougs and Dawgs

Last Thursday one of the six buses carrying the Husky Marching Band to Pullman to perform at the Apple Cup flipped over. While no one was seriously injured, 47 were examined at a hospital. 

That night locals gathered their Thanksgiving leftovers to give to the Husky Band Members. The next day the Washington State University marching band played the Husky fight song in honor of their absence from the game.

Two weeks ago The Daily published a feature titled “48 Hours with the Husky Marching Band.” Writer Andy Yamashita joins the podcast to talk about the big undertaking and then Husky Marching Band Alum, Amy Kretz (’97) talks about the Alumni Association and her days with the band in the second half.
