"March of the Steelmen" is very dear to us in NUMB.  For decades, it's been our home season closer. Same music, same drill for generations. It's also the only halftime show we chair step in. Thanks for listening! GO 'CATS!

Great performance once again Saturday.  I'm looking forward to you guys showing up yet another opposing school's band at the bowl game.
