UW Band will take field against cancer

With the tweet of the drum major’s whistle and the drum beat of its run-on cadence, the University of Wisconsin marching band will take to the field at Camp Randall Nov. 15 to march against cancer.

For the second year, band members are raising awareness for the UW Carbone Cancer Center by wearing special sashes emblazoned with the names of people who have had cancer.

Until the end of October, supporters can honor a loved one by ordering a sash that will be worn by a UW band member. A $250 donation to the cancer center will create a sash to be worn on the field by a band member during the Nov. 15 Nebraska game, then mailed to the donor.
