[audience cheers wildly]
Can you hear the trombones OK, lady?
[audience laughing]
This is the University of Wisconsin Band!
[audience cheering]
And not long ago, we were at the Pinstripe Bowl
where we beat Miami 35-3.
Remember that day? [cheers and applause]
This is exciting for us tonight.
First of all, I've got three sellouts in a row.
You're the third audience.
You'd better be the best one!
[cheers and whistles]
Well, always on this concert,
we feature the tuba section.
[cheers and applause]
I was a little concerned this year
because one of the guys came up and said,
"Mike, I'm having a little trouble with school this year
and I don't know if I can keep doing the concert."
He said,
"I'm failing every subject, but one."
And I said, "Well, that's tough."
[audience laughs]
I said, "Have you studied enough?"
He said, "Yeah, I thought I did."
I said, "Well, what subject is it that you're failing--
that you're not failing, rather?"
He said, "I'm failing every subject but one
and that's calculus." [audience laughs]
I said, "Well, why is it that you think
you're not failing calculus?"
He said, "I'm not taking calculus."
[hearty laughter]
- Band: Ssss... Boom.. . ahhh... [skyrocket whistle]
How is Mike like a spring concert?
Ssss... Boom.. . ahhhhh...
[skyrocket whistle]
They both finally sold out!
[audience laughs, groans]
- They wrote me a poem. [audience laughs]
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
We're not as dumb as you think we is."
[hearty laughter]
We're going to feature our tuba section!
- Ssss... Boom.. . ahhhh... [skyrocket whistle]
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
You're not as funny
as you think you are!
[groans, laughter, applause]
- We'll see about that when grades come out.
[band groans loudly]
Here's a song that's also been around for 50 years.
It was originally the Sesame Street theme.
We're going to do the "Muppet Song" for you.
[cheers and applause]
- Band: And up!
- Leckrone: One, two, a one, two, three, four.
* ["Muppet Song"]

[enthusiastic cheers and applause]
Our tuba section!
Early on, too, we like to get you involved.
You sound like you're a great audience tonight.
We like to get you involved
with a little thing called "The Hey Song"
where you jump up and holler, "Hey!"
Remember when we do this? - Audience: Hey!
- You jump up and holler,"Hey!" Let's try it!
Let's see if they remember. Start at letter 'B.'
- A one, two, a one, two, three, four.
* - Hey!
[stadium anthem music]
- Hey!
Hey!
HEY!
- What--
What part of the instructions
didn't you understand?
[audience laughs]
Jump up and holler, "Hey!"
And you, too, Phil. You can do it, too.
Let's try it again for these two guys.
A one, two, a one, two, three, four.
* Hey!
I still see some slackers out there.
We're going to have a little sway back and forth with this
and you got "Rock & Roll 2."
Here we go, one, two, a one, two, three, four.
* ["Rock & Roll Part 2"]
[rolling beat]
- Band chants: I hate the trombones!
Hey!
[distinct, engaging beat]
[driving jock rock]
Hey!
- Band chants: One, two, you know what to do!
*
Hey!
[energetic cheers and applause]
- About 27 years ago, a woman came to me and said,
"You know, you wear a lot of different kind of clothes."
I guess that's putting it mildly.
She said, "I would like to start to design some of them
and construct them for you."
So, ladies and gentlemen, this is Lois Levenhagen.
[cheers and applause]
She's been my--
- Band: Whoo-ooo!
- She's from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
She's been doing this for 27 years for me,
coming up with some new outfits. - Levenhagen: Yep, yep.
- We'll show you what one of them looked like
when we were starting to do this.
- Band: Whoo-whew!
[whistles]
Audience: Whoa!
[cheers and applause]
- How about that?
Do you like that one, Lois? - Oh, yeah.
- I like this one a lot. - Yeah.
- So, thank you again, Lois Levenhagen,
and thank you for all the years
you've done for the band.
Thank you so much. - Thank you!
[cheers and applause]
- I feel like I should be working for Purina.
[laughter]
I know most of you go to Camp Randall
and you get to hear the band play, but you notice lately,
the band has had to take a back seat a little bit
to some of the stadium productions
where they put audio-- yeah, you know.
Where they play some of the special things
and some of them are fun to play
and you join in
and I think it's fine for them to do that,
but I kind of miss--
I kind of miss letting the band play more.
[cheers and applause]
But I understand they gotta mix it up a little bit.
I thought it might be fun for you to hear some of the songs
that they play over at the Stadium
and have these guys play it.
[cheers and applause]
So, we put together a medley of songs
that people sing along
as the stadium sound system goes along,
but now you can sing along with us.
We call this medley, very cleverly,
"The Camp Randall Sing-Along."
- Band: Ohhhhh...
Band: Hey-up!

A GREAT TIME TO CALL AND THANK
MIKE FOR HIS MANY YEARS AND HIS
SUPPORT OF WISCONSIN PUBLIC

NOW, THE BAND, I THINK SOME
PEOPLE FEEL SORT OF LIKE THIS IS
THE MUSIC MAJORS.
BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT THE
BAND IS MADE UP.
>> PROBABLY ONLY 7% TO 8% ARE
MUSIC MAJOR.
THE REST ARE GOING ON TO HAVE
CAREERS IN MEDICINE, BUSINESS,
EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
THEY'RE NOT MUSICIANS BY TRADE,
BUT THEY LOVE TO PLAY.
THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.
>> IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE THAT BIG
STAGE AND THAT BIG,
I'm going to bring back a couple of guys
that were in the band a long time ago.
The first one out is a young man named David Jones
from McFarland, Wisconsin.
[cheers and applause]
- Band: Boom AH. [skyrocket whistle]
- David was in--
- Band: Dave Jones.
- David was in
the very first concert
that we did with the Wisconsin Band, back in Mills Hall.
Back that first year we ever did it, Dave was--
[cheers and applause]
David went on to great things,
playing professionally all over the country.
He's been at Disney World for a number of years,
playing all sorts of things.
He plays in the local bands there.
He's an arranger.
He does a lot of programming for the Band.
So, we're very proud of him as one of our alumnus-- alumni.
And the other guy,
[cheers and applause]
was also in those bands.
We got to move, I think, into the Field House
when Grant was in the band.
This is Grant Manhart from here in Madison.
- Band: Boom AH. [skyrocket whistle]
[cheers and applause]
- Band: Grant Manhart.
- Grant went on with a great professional career
with Buddy Rich for a while, with all sorts of bands.
Played all over the world.
They're going to do a tune that I particularly like
because of the title.
It's called the "Brotherhood of Man,"
which is what I think this band is all about.
And also, it's kinda remarkable
cause this is the first time
both these guys have played together on the same show.
So... this is a first for me to hear them play at the same time.
So, this is Woody Herman's "Brotherhood of Man",
Grant Manhart and David Jones.
[applause]
*
[high-pitched trilling]
[cheers and applause]
[David Jones plays trumpet solo]
[cheers and applause]
[Grant Manhart plays trumpet solo]
[Manhart and Jones play together]
- Grant Manhart, David Jones! [cheers and applause]
Boy, are we proud of the guys,
are we proud of these two!
[thundering applause]
Aren't they great?
We're so proud of these alumni.
So proud of what they've been able to do with music.
For a long time,
one of my favorite musicals
is sort of a period piece.
[audience howls] - Whoo!
[cheers ascending and descending]
- This is the part I like the best.
[audience laughs]
The period was at the turn of the century
where bands were all over America.
Bands were the things that everybody listened to
and there was a man who wrote a lot about band music
because he was a member, originally,
of the John Philip Sousa Band .
He was a piccolo player
with the John Philip Sousa Band .
With that band, he got a chance
to tour the world and play a lot of different things.
And while he was doing that,
he decided to write a musical play
about some people he had known.
The guy that he primarily wrote about
was a man named Harold Hill.
[audience cheers]
Now, Harold Hill was the kind of guy--
Well, he wasn't much of a musician at all.
He was kind of a phony.
He took advantage of people.
He lied.
He cheated.
He stole.
He told people he was a great musician and he really wasn't.
He led them to believe he could do almost anything with music.
Kind of like my life story. [laughter]
[applause]
But in the play,
Robert Preston, as Harold Hill, says,
"No one can forget that glorious day
when Creatore ,
Pat Conway ,
Liberatti ,
W.C. Handy ,
and the great John Philip Sousa
all came to town
on the same wonderful day.

>> KNOW THIS GUY?
- Back in 1942, a number of composers
were commissioned to write
a series of fanfares for the war bond drive.
And it's very successful because
one of the fanfares that was written
became a standard in symphony orchestras
all over the world.
It was written by a man named Aaron Copland.
Mr. Copland wrote this fanfare
intending it to be a very solemn thing,
but then a guy named Woody Herman got ahold of it
and he thought it would be not only a great fanfare piece
but also kind of a jazz-rock thing.
So, he transformed it into that.
Mr. Copland totally appreciated what he did,
and was very complimentary about it.
The band, it's one of their favorite numbers,
so I thought I would include it in this year's program.
This is Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man."
[cheers and applause]
[cymbal gongs]
* ["Fanfare for the Common Man" Aaron Copland ] *

[fireworks pop]
[cheers and applause]
of the Nth degree. [audience laughs]
Because I've invited a couple of friends
who are going to play for us here.
Patrick Kenney on keyboard.
Terrific keyboard player. [applause]
And back there is--
What's his name again? [laughter]
Todd Thompson, who's a longtime member of the band
[cheers and applause]
and a great member of the trumpet section.
And then, I'm going to introduce my granddaughter,
Raychel Wilson. [cheers and applause]
My grandson, Michael Mitmoen.
[cheers and applause] - Men in audience: "Yeah! Whoo!"
- And my son, Erik...?
...uh, Leckrone. Erik Leckrone.
[laughter, cheers, and applause]
And I hope you'll permit us to do this
because I asked them to play a couple of tunes
and these are songs that
are very important to my family.
[in a sentimental voice] So, thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Two, three, four.

WE HOPE YOU'LL GET TO THE PHONE
AND CALL RIGHT NOW AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> I'M LINDA BERMAN, A VOLUNTEER
WITH WISCONSIN PUBLIC
TELEVISION.
IT TRULY HAS BEEN AN HONOR.
WE'VE BEEN DOING THE BAND SHOW
FOR A LONG TIME.
I KNOW I'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE
TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE HERE.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT YOU
SEE ON THE AIRWAVES IS NOT
NEARLY WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO
EXPERIENCE WITH THE CONCERT.
HOWEVER, WHEN YOU CALL AND
PLEDGE AT THE $10 A MONTH LEVEL,
YOU CAN GET A COPY OF THE 2019
TWO DVDs IN ONE SET HERE,
"MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS."
TRULY IT WAS THE BAND CONCERT,
THE BAND SHOW, "MOMENTS OF
HAPPINESS."
AT $12 A MONTH, WE WILL GIVE YOU
TWO COPIES OF THIS, ONE DVD SET.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ONE TO
SHARE BOTH, TO GIVE, IT IS YOUR
CHOICE.
AT $15 A MONTH, WE HAVE THE
BOBBLEHEAD, MIKE LECKRONE
BOBBLEHEAD, WHICH IS AMAZING AND
IT DOES PLAY "ON, WISCONSIN."
IT'S HARD TO GET HIM TO STOP
ONCE HE STARTS PLAYING.
AT $20 A MONTH, YOU GET THE
BOBBLEHEAD AND THE TWO DVDs.
THIS IS, TO AGAIN, OUR WAY OF
SAYING THANK YOU YOU WHEN YOU
CALL AND PLEDGE 1-800-236-3636.
>> HI.
I'M DAVID HOFFERT, A VOLUME HERE
HERE AT WISCONSIN PUBLIC
TELEVISION.
MY MOMENT OF HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW
IS HERE WE ARE IN A PLEDGE BREAK
AFTER A CHALLENGE BREAK AND THE
PHONES ARE STILL RINGING AS IF
IT'S A CHALLENGE BREAK.
AND THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
IT SHOWS HOW MUCH THIS
PROGRAMMING MATTERS TO YOU.
MY MOMENT OF UNHAPPINESS IS I
JUST STARTED PLAYING THE MUSIC
ON THE BOBBLEHEAD.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR
THAT.
I HAVE WITH ME HERE DARREN
OLSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE
BAND.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
PROBABLY WORRIED, WANTING TO
KNOW, MIKE'S LEAVING.
DOES THAT MEAN THERE'S NO MORE
MARCHING BAND?
>> NO.
WE'VE STILL GOT OVER 300
INCREDIBLE, ENERGETIC STUDENTS
THAT ARE GOING TO BE OUT THERE
BRINGING THAT WISCONSIN SPIRIT
THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND
COUNTRY.
THE TRADITIONS WITH THE BAND
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD
EVEN THOUGH KIND OF A
BITTERSWEET END OF THIS ERA.
>> BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA?
WHAT CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO IN
THE COMING YEARS?
>> THAT'S FOR EVERYBODY TO WAIT
AND SEE.
>> WHAT DOES MIKE ALWAYS SAY?
WE NEVER SAY GOODBYE, RIGHT?
>> WE'LL SEE YOU REAL SOON.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE AND HAVING BOTH OF YOU HERE
