On November 19, 2011, the Cornhusker Marching Band performed at Michigan Stadium, in front of the largest audience ever to watch the band. The Cornhusker Band has also made several international tours, visiting continental Europe and Ireland. The Cornhusker Marching Band has been the recipient of many honors over the years, including the John Philip Sousa Foundation's Sudler Trophy in 1996. The Sudler Trophy is presented annually to a college marching band program that has demonstrated particular excellence over a period of years. A ballot of all NCAA marching band directors selects the trophy recipient. The Marching Red has been seen by millions of viewers on television, and appeared on the Kennedy Center stage as part of the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. In 2005 the band was featured on the NBC prime time series Tommy Lee Goes to College and in 2007 on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. On October 13, 2007, a film crew from the comedy film, Yes Man, starring Jim Carrey filmed portions of the movie at Memorial Stadium including several shots of the marching band.
