The University of Wisconsin Marching Band (also known as Badger Band, and The Wisconsin Band[1]) is the marching band for the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It was formed in the fall of 1885 to support the university military battalion. Today, it has grown to about 300 members and performs at all home Badger football games. They are known for their intense and athletic high knee “stop at the top” marching style.
