The main focus on the NCAA football championship game Monday (Jan. 11) between Alabama and Ohio State may have been on the gridiron, but UC Davis helped make the halftime show possible.
Four UC Davis students played in the virtual marching band performance that was shown during the break in the game: Jordi Avila (alto saxophone), Celia Amezcua (tenor saxophone), Micah Gruenwald (trombone), and Nazil Luqman (trumpet) appeared in the above video, especially between 1:50 and 2:05 in the recording.
“You can also see Celia show off some cool dance moves around the 2:50 mark,” said Garrett Rigsby, UC Davis Marching Band director.
