UNDER THE DOME
THE BIG PICTURE
A CHANGE OF THE GUARD
At Notre Dame's season-opening 48-17 win against Rice Aug. 30, the
newly minted FieldTurf wasn't the only game-day change. The Irish Guard
led the marching band onto the field for the first time since the university
changed the selection procedures in April.
With the change, eliminated was the previous 6-foot-2 requirement for
members and added was a mandatory year-of-service requirement in the
band as a musician or manager.
