The Band had a blast performing their \u201cSuperheroes\u201d show and cheering on the Cardinals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The marching band started off September with Band Day on the 7th. Ball State Band Day is a day where high school bands come to Ball State and get to perform alongside the Pride of Mid-America during the game! The day starts off with high school ensembles observing POMA\u2019s rehearsal and then joining POMA to rehearse part of their halftime show. During the game, high school students are invited to join the Pride of Mid-America in the stands so that all may enjoy Ball State music fun. The Pride of Mid-America is proud to have hosted 13 ensembles for this years Band Day!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On September 14th, POMA also hosted their annual Family Day event for the marching band members families.
