University Of Minnesota Performs With Timberlake At Super Bowl
The University of Minnesota marching band performed with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Marching bands have long been a part of the halftime festivities at football games. Well, at the most important NFL game of the year, Super Bowl LII, the University of Minnesota marching band got the chance to perform in front of thousands of fans at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and to millions more watching on TV.
The NFL posted the full performance on its YouTube channel.
At the 6:48 mark in the video, members of the University of Minnesota drumline come into view as halftime performer Justin Timberlake began to sing his hit song "Suit and Tie."
Rather than wearing their traditional uniform, the band members were wearing their own suit and tie outfit.
