I take exception to the negative review of the Skyhawk Marching Band offered in the Arts & Entertainment section of your Sept. 14 issue.

Our marching band presented an excellent program complete with musical variety and interesting marching routines.

Although I have been at UTM only a few years, I expected nothing less than the impressive performance that I saw Thursday (Sept. 9).

I am very proud of our band and its leadership.
