The series chronicles the marching band from grueling practices to show-stopping performances during the fall of 2014. Viewers will get up close and personal stories of the band members, as well as interviews with their esteemed director, Dr. James Oliver.

"The viewers will really see the hard work that the Mighty Marching Hornets put in all week in preparation for our eight-and-a-half-minute halftime show. They are going to be right there with us as we go through our pre-drill, practice and performance," Oliver said. "Words cannot truly express how awesome this is for our band and for the University.”

Marching under the motto “The Price of Glory is High,” the world-renowned band was recently featured in Robin Thicke’s video for his song “Give It 2 U” and the MTV Video Music Awards.
