Annual Herd Rally Canceled Last Week

Fans before Herd Rally was canceled

Rain forced the planners of this year’s Herd Rally to send fans home last Friday, Aug. 25.

The annual event acts as a way to encourage school spirit surrounding Marshall athletics ahead of the football season. The rally also features multiple Marshall sports as well as the Marching Thunder and photo opportunities with the University’s mascot, Marco.

Reeves Kirtner, the vice president and co-owner of Kindred Communications, shared his thoughts saying, “[I am] extremely disappointed. This is one of my personal favorite nights of Ninth Street Live.
