The Legend, 2020: Carrying On the Legacy

The Legend, 2020

When the coronavirus pandemic threw the world out of step, members of the IUP Marching Band knew their 2020 season was in jeopardy. Able to move forward, with limitations, they’re proud and excited to carry on the tradition of the Legend, which marks a century next year.
On Saturday, the band kicked off Homecoming 2020, a weeklong virtual event, with a performance streamed live from Miller Stadium. The full performance is now available on YouTube.
HOMECOMING 2020 IS VIRTUAL AND TAKING PLACE ALL WEEK. SEE THE ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE ON THE HOMECOMING WEBSITE.
