So great to see The Series performed like this. I was part of the bass drummers group that created the pivot moves in the second section of The Series in the way back - 1976!

Instant tears! They truly are the best… yes, I’m biased… but there is nothing like a Sunny football Saturday and hearing them all throughout campus! Forever GREEN! 💚🤍💪🏼🎼🥁🎷🎺💚🤍

First as a student and then an alum, I always loved watching MSU's marching band during the games. They are the best!!!

I love how they almost exclusively show off the drumline. they don't cut to a single clip of the full band playing. these guys have their priorities straight

One of those tubas used to go to my highschool and he still visits us every band camp. GO GREEN!!!

I was in that band! A lot of hard work including band camp at Interlochen six weeks before school started, but some of my best memories of Michigan State. Have a great year, SMB!

Inspiring! I was a graduate student in the College of Education, Erickson Hall, in the 1980's. It doesn't get better than this; nor memories of a bygone era back in the day ...
