Also on October 14th, the high school band, along with director Autumn Schultz and parent Matt Grant, attended part of Hobo Days in Brookings. They were able to witness the Hobo Days parade, at which many marching bands performed. They saw bands with as few as 20 people and in contrast, very large marching bands as well. After the parade, they attended the football game, where SDSU dominated the UNI Panthers. When asked about her experience, Erica Cahoy stated, “It was fun to see all the different local bands come out to the parade and to see what a college marching band looks like.”
