Don Dean Student Director Straw Hat Band The beginning of basketball season every year brings out the most unusual musical organization on campus, the California Straw Hat Band. Composed entirely of volunteers from the Cal Marching Band, the Straw Hatters dedicate themselves to supporting the Golden Bears wherever they may go. The nationally famous Hatters fill Harmon Gymnasium with spirited renditions of Cal fight songs throughout the basketball season. At various other times during the Spring, they may be seen at crew and track meets, other athletic contests, formal and informal meetings, and noon rallies. The busy Straw Hatters followed the Bear basketball players to almost every game this year. Over the three-month season they traveled 6,500 miles by bus, plane, and private car to Seattle, Eugene, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Tucson, missing only a Christmas series in Hawaii and a Monday night game in Pullman, Washington. At these away games, the Band is a self-contained cheering section, adding a variety of yell and shouts to the spirited music in order to overcome the opposition ' s home court The Straw Hatters received a singular honor at the end of the last home basketball game this year, when the Varsity Basketball team presented them with a plaque the band for their dedicated support over the season.
