On Friday afternoon, they boarded a bus and traveled to the major New York City parks to play the Lehigh fight songs. The afternoon’s stops included Washington Square Park, the Wall Street Bull, Highline Park, Columbus Circle, Central Park and even a subway station — which the band was sufficiently kicked out of.
