Band of the Fighting Irish -- Wins "Heisman!"

The University of Notre Dame's Band of the Fighting Irish, was awarded the Sudler Trophy this past week -- the "Heisman Trophy" of awards for marching bands in America -- by the John Phillip Sousa Foundation.  The Sudler Trophy is the only national award for marching bands and is awarded annually to a university for its major influence in the establishment and maintenance of high standards of musical and marching performance.  The "formal" presentation will take place during halftime of a 2011 football game at Notre Dame Stadium.  A ND GO IRISH BLOG "thank you" to regular contributor; Dr. Jim Clancy -- for this story.  Here's a link to the Sousa Foundation website and a link to a halftime performance of the Band of the Fighting Irish from the Utah game this season:
