Affectionately known as "Band 140" by its membership, the 2020 HMB has been conducting rehearsals outdoors at its practice field in reduced numbers since arriving at campus in August. However, the marching Hawkeyes aren't likely to perform at a home game of the football Hawkeyes in 2020. Big Ten Conference policy currently prohibits marching bands, cheerleaders, and dance team members from performing out of concern and respect for COVID-19. — Merit Pages News
