"Their talents know no boundaries," said David Bertman, director of the Spirit of Houston. "These musicians and entertainers will shine anywhere they play. Whether it's a 70,000-seat football stadium or a gorgeous concert hall, they will always deliver a show-stopping performance."
Fans around the nation have been thrilled by Cougar Marching Band performances.
