The A-F Area Educational Foundation Proudly Presents
UW Badger Marching Band Returns to the A-F Fine Arts Center February 1!
The University of Wisconsin Varsity Band is returning to Adams-Friendship for its fifth appearance! The band’s first performances in 2004, 2005 and 2012 were part of the A-F Area Educational Foundation’s fund-raising efforts to build a fine arts center. Michael Lecrone, the UW Band director at the time, told the crowd of 1,000 or more fans packed into the A-F gymnasium that he wanted to return to our community and direct the band on the stage of our fine arts center when it was built, stating, “We’ll be back!” In his final year as director in 2018, he brought the band back to A-F to fulfill his promise as the band performed in the recently opened A-F Fine Arts Center.
On February 1 at 2:00 PM, the UW Band, under the direction of Dr. Corey Pompey, will once again strut down the aisles of the Adams-Friendship Fine Arts Center for what is sure to be a sold-out show. Tickets are $22 in advance for adults and $12 for 18 and under. At the door adult tickets will be $25. Tickets can be purchased at afasd.tix.com, at A-F County Market, or by calling 608-339-3921 ext. 1161. For more information about this show and other A-F Foundation events go to afedfoundation.org/events.
The University of Wisconsin Band has established a most enviable reputation of performance. The band annually appears before thousands at Camp Randall Stadium, millions via national television, and has traveled extensively from coast to coast. Wherever the appearances may be, the band receives widespread acclaim for its innovative shows, precise marching and playing style, and intense energy. The spirit of this famous unit is one of the keystones of the band’s success, and the band’s enthusiasm could be considered the embodiment of “school spirit” at Wisconsin.
The show will conclude with the A-F version of the Fifth Quarter. Wisconsin favorites like “On Wisconsin”, “Varsity”, “If You Want to be a Badger”, and “You’ve Said It All!” will raise the roof as audience members do the polka and chicken dance in the aisles! So, if you want to be a badger, or if you just want to hear a great band, get your tickets now to see this nationally recognized state treasure in our own Adams-Friendship Fine Arts Center.

Showtime is 2:00 PM.
