Sporting a sequin jacket with embroidered roses, band director Mike Leckrone shakes hands with audience members at the end of the concert. A dream for many in the Big Ten, Leckrone has traveled with his band to the Rose Bowl football game six times during his 42-year career. Following the show, Leckrone also shook hands with and thanked each band member for their performance.
