Northbrook's Max Sobel, Hawkeye Marching Band return to Kinnick Stadium

Max Sobel, of Northbrook, is one of 272 University of Iowa students who are members of the 2021 Hawkeye Marching Band, one of the "top ten college marching bands in the nation," according to CNN Headline News and one of the Big Ten Conference's marching bands whose halftime show is "worth the watch," according to Sports Illustrated. Forced to the sidelies last year because of the pandemic, the 2021 Hawkeye Marching Band - affectionately known as "Band 141" by its membership - will once again be the sound and heartbeat of historic Kinnick Stadium at each of the nationally ranked Iowa Hawkeyes' seven home games. Sobel plays the Trombone; this is Max's first year as a member of the Hawkeye Marching Band.
