Fans at Saturday's sellout between Kansas University and Sam Houston State will get a treat at half-time.
As part of the 61st annual Band Day, more than 40 high school bands will perform a series of patriotic songs, as well as joining the Marching Jayhawks for "I'm a Jayhawk."
The half-time performance follows the traditional parade down Massachusetts Street.
The parade begins at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. It starts at Seventh Street and ends at South Park.
Tom Stidham, KU's longtime associate band director, said this was the first Band Day in many years to play to a sellout crowd.
Marching bands from Lawrence High School and Free State High School will march in the parade, but won't perform at half-time.

the reason they do not is because this is a chance for the smaller Kansas high schools to play in front of that large crowd. If they went, you'd have to kick several other high schools off the field.

When we were in high school, large and small high schools performed on the field. We were packed in there like sardines. I think the number of bands has reduced in the past decade or so.
