Marquette carillon bells ring Brewers anthem before World Series berth
Ahead of the Brewers' NLCS-clinching win, Marquette University's carillon rang out "Roll Out the Barrel," a tune long tied to the team.
Marquette University's carillon bells chime the Brewers' anthem before the team clinched a spot in the World Series. The university's carillon, located atop the Marquette Hall tower, consists of 48 bronze bells. One of only three carillons in Wisconsin, the instrument was installed in 1967 after the Marquette Hall tower was built in 1923.
Prior to the 6-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 15, marking the team's first sweep since 1982, Marquette's Paccard carillon was played for the first time by Mark Konewko, who has been the official carillonneur since 1999. The carillon, played using wooden levers and pedals, features larger bells that produce lower notes and smaller bells that ring at higher pitches.
