Family Alumnus Lukas Caracciolo marches on the field of the Rose Bowl Stadium alongside his fellow Blue Band trumpet players. Penn State won 35-21 with the help of the band's cheer. “At first I looked around the stadium taking it all in, thinking to myself ‘I can’t believe I’m here right now’. When we started moving downfield the nerves started coming in, but I took a deep breath and used that energy to fuel my performance. It truly was an experience like no other,” Caracciolo said.
