Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, October 29, 2015

By Darlene Bowers
“Stand up, Ada fans, and join us in cheering on our Bulldogs as the Ada High School Marching Band plays the fight song for our team!”

Do these words stir you to jump up out of your seat and applaud as the team takes the field, the cheerleaders leap into synchronized action, the color guard waves their bulldog flags, and the band fills the stadium with that familiar, heart pounding beat that proclaims another football Friday night in Ada, Ohio?

125 years later...the ONU marching band plays on

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 28, 2015

ONU Marching Band field commander Ryan Briley attempted to make history by playing “The Longest Note” in front of Heterick Memorial Library on Tuesday. There's still time to join us this week as the Star of Northwest Ohio commemorates 125 years of accomplishment.

The following story is from ONU's Facebook:

For 125 years, the Ohio Northern University Marching Band contributed to the Northern campus and the Ada community.
