On a musical note:
Muskingum College, where my dad played football - and taught chemistry for 36 years - always played Wooster College for Homecoming. At least until Wooster said "OK, 40-some straight losses is enough; find another patsy!"
But their less-than-powerhouse football program was only part of why; Homecoming had a parade, and they are the Wooster Scots. The band wears (or wore; I'm about half a century out of touch on this....) kilts, and are (were?) led by a bagpipe section.
I have loved bagpipes as long as I can remember!
