The Wabash Cannonball is a Wildcat favorite tradition. In 1968, a fire in Nichols Hall destroyed almost all of the marching band's sheet music, except for one piece of music – the Wabash Cannonball. Pan around the video to get a 360 view of how Wildcats do the Wabash. What's your favorite K-State tradition?
