Marching Illini
On our lists
4th seed, East Regional
Number 7
One of the largest collegiate marching bands in the country at 350-plus members, the Marching Illini perform in a more conservative style than some of their Big Ten counterparts, but that doesn't make their performances any less entertaining. Along with their intricate performances at all Illinois home games, the band traditionally travels to other Big Ten schools each year, and performs an annual indoor concert at the Assembly Hall on campus featuring lighting effects, individual section performances and even comedic routines.
