Many attendees in the stadium captured the moment the musicians aligned on the field to spell Selena’s name as they performed her music.

In the stands was Quintanilla’s sister Suzette, who posted a video of the performance on her Instagram story.

In the post, Suzette tagged the university and used the heart emoji in Selena’s signature purple shade.

The Longhorn Band had previously paid homage to Selena with a performance of “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” and “Como La Flor” at the 2019 Sugar Bowl.

One thing is for certain -- the Texas Longhorn Band would do “anything for Selena’s” and Texas loved it!
