Wichita State fans who stuck in their seats at halftime of Saturday night’s men’s basketball game against Tulane were treated to the debut of the Shocker Sound Machine, Wichita State’s first-year basketball marching band.
Dressed in black and yellow, designed by Fruhauf Uniforms, the ensemble of around 35 students performed for a little more than five minutes. They had performed before at a women’s basketball game, but this was their first performance in front of the majority of 10,000-plus fans in attendance.
It wasn’t a traditional marching band performance because the Shocker Sound Machine doesn’t consider itself to be a traditional marching band.
