The ISU marching band paraded down the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State fair yesterday. Had plans to go(inside information) but wife is having health problems.
ISU marching band
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
We were there yesterday. We were walking down towards the animal barns when a lady riding a horse came our way and was getting everyone back out of the street and on to the sidewalk. Then I heard a band around the corner and I thought that it was some sort of a parade. As the band started to round the corner and come toward us I realized that it was the Iowa State Band! I had no idea that they were even there.
The crowd all lined up along the street and was very excited as our band marched and played in front of us. I was so excited that I screwed up recording some of their performance. They stopped right in front of us and put on a great performance. I'll try to post some of my videos after I get them uploaded to youtube. I would have loved to have seen them marching down the Grand Concourse! By the way, the crowd at the fair was huge, very festive and animated.
The attendance for Saturday (117,764) was just 1,500 people short of the record setting crowd of the same day in 2019. For Saturday, the State Fair all by its self would have been the third largest city in the state.

That’s interesting, I don’t remember hearing the woodwinds isolated before.
Here's another one with the crowd reaction as they are marching towards us. GO CYCLONES!!
Yes I was but so was the guy standing next to me so I'm not sure who came through the loudest!
I did sing along even though my throat was a bit dry and hoarse. You're welcome and I'll post another one or two. Love my CYCLONES!

I'm ready to run through a wall
Saw a ladder in the second video. That would be considered a deadly weapon in the hands of the wrong marching band....
Loved the ending:
Where's the corn dogs? whoop, whoop
Where's the corn dogs? whoop, whoop
Where's the corn dogs? whoop, whoop
Where's the corn dogs? whoop, whoop
