Watch: Chicago has strong history with Band of the Fighting Irish

Chicago and the Band of the Fighting Irish just go together.

Any university would be lucky to have a great relationship with a renowned band. It would be even luckier to be so tight with the band that the band continues to come back time and time again. That’s Notre Dame with the legendary group Chicago. That’s no accident either as longtime band manager Peter Schvarelli played football for the Irish over 50 years ago.

Particularly over the past decade, numerous YouTube videos have surfaced showing Chicago performing with the Band of the Fighting Irish. Still other times, the band simply has arrived to show its support. So take a music break and look back at some of the performances Chicago and the marching band have offered.
