The business is The Frase Farm, a U-pick flower farm where customers can also buy pre-made bouquets.

For Jim Mauck, UB’s director of athletic bands, music is not just about playing a note.

“It’s a feeling, and when it’s harmonized together it has some serious power behind it,” Mauck says. “It’s a feeling that takes all of us to put together, so when the band’s really rocking and going, you’re not thinking; you’re feeling.”
