Maybe you've heard the distant beat of drums or the soaring notes of brass instruments drifting across campus lately. Well, you're not alone! Last week, University Communications News Content Manager Vicky Santos happened upon — and photographed — an outdoor practice session as the Thunder of the East UB Marching Band started tuning up for the home football opener. The Bulls take on Lafayette at 7 p.m. today in UB Stadium. Tickets are still available.
