High school marching bands take over UA campus for 70th 'Band Day'

TUCSON, Ariz. — Dozens of Arizona high school marching bands played and competed at Arizona Stadium on Saturday, as part of the University of Arizona's 70th 'Band Day.'

“We have 45 different bands all from high schools across Arizona, New Mexico, sometimes we get bands from even Southern California. They all come and compete against each other at the university," said Grace Adams, head drum major of UArizona's Pride of Arizona Marching Band. “Being able to come into Arizona Stadium and just see the cathedral that it is and get to perform in that space is just mind-blowing for high schoolers," she added."When I was in high school, we came and performed at U of A band day every year and that’s how I learned about The Pride. And so being able to watch high school bands now as a member of The Pride has just been amazing.
