In 1969, Mike Leckrone took over the reins of the University of Wisconsin Marching Band. As he prepares to step down after 50 years, he talks with Eric Paulsen to reflect on his legacy, one of innovation and precision, sometimes making the band cooler than the football team from the 5th quarter to the spring concerts. There may have been plenty of changes over the past half century, but as Eric pointed out, the Rolling Stones are still touring. Check out this 20 minute conversation that shows why UW students often chant "we came to see the band!"
