IKB Travels with Football to San Diego In keeping with the Notre Dame tradition going back to the 1968 football season, the band traveled to San Diego, California on August 31 as the Knights took on Desert High School at Cathedral Catholic High School as part of the Honor Bowl. Over the last decade, the IKB has traveled with the football team to Dallas, Texas, Dublin, Ireland, Oceanside, San Mateo, Santa Maria, and Mountainview, California in support of the football team.
