Marching band, dancers entertained at Colts game Sunday evening

The Marching Blue and the Pink Panther Dance Team stepped out of their routine Sunday to entertain a new set of fans.

The marching band, the color guard and the Pink Panther Dance Team dazzled audiences at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Ind., Sunday during halftime of the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans football game, said Lindsay Samuels, graduate assistant to the marching band.

“The band had a lot of fun,” Samuels said. “They got to perform in front of over 55,000 people. It was a fun trip.”

Samuels said it was the first time the band ever played in front of a crowd that large, and they were thrilled to be invited to perform.

“It was good exposure for Eastern,” she said. “The kids represented Eastern very well.”

The Marching Blue performed “Play That Funky Music,” and “Tear the Roof off this Sucka” and the Pink Panthers developed dance routines to both pieces.
