STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) — Whenever you see the famous MSU Maroon Band take to the practice field, it’s a reminder that the first game against Southern Miss is just two weeks from Saturday.

There was a brief interruption because of rain Monday morning, but band members were back on the field practicing before noon Monday.

“Getting everybody together, getting together to get one goal of getting everybody excited about Mississippi State Football,” drum major Cooper Haywood said.

“And we are really excited to practice to the best of our abilities to be able to play and boost the football team on hopefully to a playoff game or a bowl game,” drum major Brittany Carey said.

The MSU Bull Dawgs go against Southern Miss Aug. 30.

The famous Maroon Band has been a significant part of the Mississippi State family for more than 110 years.
