UCLA’s marching band kept the crowd entertained through halftime, with Olivia Pacheco’s baton twirling performance eliciting cheers and applause.

“I’ve wanted to be the UCLA twirler since I was 8-years-old,” said Pacheco, a third-year public health student and the feature twirler for marching band. “The first thing that goes through my mind is a little Olivia who always dreamed of this. And then the second one is just entertain, entertain, entertain.”
