The block party featured performances from the Wisconsin marching band with appearances by Badgers’ players and coaches. Among the notable names are Wisconsin football legends Brian Calhoun and John Clay, as well as some current players including cornerback Faion Hicks and defensive end Matt Henningsen.
It is exciting to see this kick-off celebration for the upcoming year, especially since Wisconsin football season is right around the corner.
