Sophomore piccoloist Emily Moyer (center-left) celebrates with her bandmates after winning the “drill down” competition during the annual Cornhusker Marching Band exhibition concert on Wednesday at Memorial Stadium. “I’m just so excited— I never expected that I’d get that far, much less win it all!” Moyer said. “I didn’t make it in last year so it’s really big for me that I was able to come back this year and prove myself.” The "drill down" contest features band members following rapid marching instructions. When a mistake is made, drum majors and directors will tag the band members out until there is one person left on the field. Band Director Tony Falcone has said in previous years that the drill down displays students' competitiveness and intensity as they fully concentrate to hear, process and execute the commands nearly instantly.
