Notre Dame marching band kicks off the school year with their annual march out on campus.

The campus roared back to life in August. While finishing touches were made on enhancements to a few well-known campus locations, the month mostly featured the usual welcome signs of fall at the University: move-in, football, opening Mass, and the start of classes.
