The Western Mustang Band (WMB) is the marching band for the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. Its legacy began in 1938 with music faculty alumnus Don Wright (for whom the faculty is now named) and has evolved since then into the band of today. The band today comprises brass, percussion, and woodwind instruments played by students from every faculty on campus, and is led by a colour guard and drum major. The Western Mustang Band is a unique asset to the University. There are only two other university-level marching bands in Canada, the Queen's Bands of Queen's University, and the McMaster Marching Band. These bands often meet head-to-head every football season, and at the Toronto Santa Claus Parade. The Western Mustang Band plays at every home football game at TD Waterhouse Stadium providing musical interlude between plays, playing half-time and pre-game shows, as well as leading the crowd in ''Western'', the school song, when the Mustangs score. The band also provides music at many basketball and hockey games. During Homecoming, the WMB leads the Homecoming Parade through the streets of London returning to Western for the Homecoming football game. Other band activities include a variety of Santa Claus parades, orientation week activities, and social events for the University and the community at large. == History == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Mustang Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
