Best Band at Pershing!

South Sioux City's pep band sounded almost as great as the star-studded Cardinals
girls team played.  Featuring a screaming brass section, director Jules Banks' 35-piece
band filled every corner of Pershing while performing rollicking versions of "You Can Call
Me Al," by Paul Simon, and Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild," among others.
