Behind the Scenes with the Big Purple Marching Band
This semester marked the first ACU football season in the brand new Wildcat Stadium, and among the first students to set foot on the turf were members of the Big Purple Marching Band. We followed them all season, from summer rehearsals in the August sun through their halftime performances at center field during ACU home games. Take a look inside ACU’s Big Purple Marching Band in our latest video, above.
We also followed the band through a complete Game Day experience in the new stadium in one of our 360-video projects this semester. The video is best viewed in a Chrome browser or using the Vimeo app on a smartphone or tablet. The project was filmed with an insta360 Pro camera that combines 6 wide-angle lenses stitched together into the final video.
Enjoy the full Game Day experience at Wildcat Stadium.
