The University of Washington marching band announced Friday that it will not attend Friday night's Apple Cup clash between the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars.
Washington Director of Athletic Bands Brad McDavid released the following statement on the decision, per ESPN.com's Kyle Bonagura: "The Husky Marching Band is like a family, and we do everything together. With that in mind, the band will not attend the 2018 Apple Cup game in respect and consideration of the recovery our students and staff need following our bus accident last night."
On Thursday night, one of six buses carrying UW band members and chaperones rolled over en route to Spokane, Washington.
