University of Virginia's Cavalier Marching Band Practice
John Myers/WXPNThis week, we're taking you on our Sense Of Place trip to Charlottesville, Va., and exploring the city's music scene. Charlottesville is a picturesque college town that's home to the University of Virginia, or UVA. If the name rings a bell, it might be because their men's basketball team won the NCAA March Madness tournament back in 2019, and the Cavalier Marching Band was along for the ride.
If you've ever wondered how a marching band chooses songs, or how hundreds of musicians can be so perfectly coordinated, then you're in for a treat. Today we go behind the scenes with the Cavalier Marching Band. Hear more about the musical side of college sports with the Cavalier Marching Band in this session.
