Marching bands battle heat too

High School football season gets underway shortly, but long before the players put on their shoulder pads and helmets and start banging heads, the marching band has already begun its practices.

  At Northeastern, the heat is once again looming as a major problem. With high temperatures expected in the high 90s on Thursday, the Bobcats are hoping to practice their music inside in the air conditioning instead of fighting extreme heat.
