Halftime Under the Lights
By: Stephanie Hansen '93

With the outstanding start to the season, Iowa State Football has received major television coverage. The Homecoming 2002 game was no exception, featured on WTBS this nationally televised game kicked off at 6:00pm. This brought a unique situation to the Alumni Band- we actually got to sleep in on Saturday! The day started with a music rehearsal at 9:30am, and then moved to the practice field to learn the drill and run though the show with the Varsity Band. The 164 person Alumni Band took to the night field -the first time since 1984- for a Homecoming halftime show under the lights. Featuring music from the Blues Brothers we entertained the crowd with such favorites as Give Me Some Lovin, and Sweet Home Chicago. The brisk fall night didn't impact the Cyclones as they defeated Texas Tech 31-17, their sixth win of the season.
