Lois Levenhagen has been creating Mike Leckrone’s costumes for the annual Band Concert at the University of Wisconsin for decades. We’ll show you how she tries to top herself each year while making a new, super-secret costume for the face of Wisconsin’s most beloved band.

Mike gives a tour through his costume closet and shares the stories behind the designs.
