An estimated 34,000 Penn State students, alumni and fans took to the Tampa Bay area for the 2011 Outback Bowl, but while many were there for leisure, more than 300 members and staff of the 2010-11 Penn State Blue Band were hard at work. For one day in University Park and three in Clearwater Beach, the Blue Band held three practices, marched in a parade, and performed at six pep rallies and events including the game itself.
Blue Band trombonist and Penn State Live photographer Andy Colwell documented the bowl trip from the Blue Band perspective both in video and still photography during the trip using his iPhone and digital SLR cameras.
