YSU gets new band uniforms

YOUNGSTOWN — Helen Stambaugh said she’s always loved the Youngstown State University Marching Pride band perform, so when she learned the band needed help getting new uniforms, she didn’t hesitate to offer assistance.

Stambaugh, a long-time supporter of YSU, has donated $150,000 to buy 200 new band uniforms.   The uniforms will make their debut when the YSU Penguins venture   to Ohio State University in Columbus Sept. 1 to play their opening football game against the Buckeyes.

“There’s no better place for us to unveil our new look than before more than 100,000 spectators at one of the nation’s premiere college football venues,” said Mike Crist, director of YSU’s Dana School of Music.
