WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Thirty-one high school marching bands from across Indiana are joining Purdue University's marching band for its next football game performance.
Purdue says the turnout is set to be its largest Band Day in more than a decade. Band Day coordinator Matt Conaway says spectators at Saturday's game at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette should be impressed seeing 2,000 performers on the field.
The massed bands from as far away as Indianapolis and South Bend will perform a rendition of the classic TV theme song from "Gunsmoke." The performance also will feature the theme from "Peter Gunn" and a combined arrangement of "America" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
