BGSU Announces New Game-Day Location for Falcon Marching Band at Doyt Perry Stadium
The Falcon Marching Band remains one of the University’s most cherished traditions, playing a vital role in the game-day atmosphere before, during, and after each contest. BGSU Athletics will continue to collaborate with the band to develop innovative opportunities to showcase its performances and strengthen its connection with Falcon fans.
“The new location of the Falcon Marching Band will provide a better fan experience for those on the east side (home side) and will allow us to more easily interact with the BG fans on the west side,” said Jon Waters, Director of the Falcon Marching Band and Athletic Bands. “The visiting teams will hear ‘Ay Ziggy Zoomba’ loud and clear too.”
“The Falcon Marching Band is a critical part of our game-day experience,” said Derek van der Merwe, Vice President for Athletics Strategy and Director of Athletics. “As the band has grown, we need to find innovative ways to integrate them into the energy and fan experience of the game. Jon Waters is a leader in creativity and innovation, and we are fortunate to have him partner with us to create new ways to engage our fans and students.”
