The first home football game of the season on Saturday also means Game Day for the 400-plus members of the ISU Cyclone Marching Band, pictured Monday at their practice field west of the Communications Building. With the athletics department announcing a sold-out stadium for the first two weekends of the season, the band will be performing a "summer pop hits" theme for more than 60,000 fans Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium. The band includes 355 marchers and another 62 student musicians who add sound in the stands.
