MN National Guard band to play the State Fair

Today's Morning Edition music is from the 34th Infantry Division "Red Bull" Band performing live at the Minnesota State Fair several years ago.

They'll be back at Leinie Lodge Bandshell at 10:30 a.m. Monday.

The band, made up of members of the Minnesota National Guard, has been around since 1900. Their mission is to "provide music throughout the spectrum of military operations to instill in our forces the will to fight and win, foster the support of our citizens and promote our national interests at home and abroad."
