HOMECOMING 1986-87 A Time For Memories From the cheers at the game, to the welcome smiles and hugs of ex-roommates and the discussion of remember whens at the bars uptown to an umbrella-filled Philadelphia Street at the parade and the goodbyes and tears to separat- ing friends, this Homecoming was as memorable as ever. The Homecoming carnival started things off on Friday and lasted through Saturday. lUP organizations sold food, photos, buttons, clothes and other goodies under the tents beside Sutton Hall. On Saturday the floats made by the sororities and fraterni- ties along with bands, shriners and other Indiana County or- ganizations paraded down Philadelphia Street as observ- ers stood under umbrellas cheering for their friends on the floats and applauding the band ' s music. ' m I. i I ' m so thrilled and honored. Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha won first place with their Roadrunner and Coyote float in the car- toon-theme float competition. They won $300 from the first place sponsors. Country Club Estates and Hogan Landscaping. Other winners for this Homecoming weekend were Tina Kennedy from Douglass- ville and Stephen Kraus from Glenshaw, lUP ' s 1986-87 homecoming king and queen. They were announced at the football game on Saturday when lUP beat Edinboro 28- 10. The king and queen along with the court brightened up the rainy day with their smiles. Em so thrilled and honored, Kennedy said of her new title. lUP ' s branch campuses were also represented by their own kings and queens. Kittaning ' s were Denette Beitko from Tar- tumen and David Copeland and Kittanning. Jeannie Por- ada and Don Airgood both from Punxutawney won at their campus. Even though Homecoming weekend was filled with games, contests and competitions they won ' t be the things that will be remembered most about this weekend. The memories of staying up all night to finish the float, hosting old friends at your apartment for the weekend and squeezing through the crowds at the bars will be the memo- ries of Homecoming 1986-87. One recent graduate summed up her weekend, I re- lived old memories and made new ones. 1 guess that ' s what Homecoming is all about. A freshman said, My first Homecoming was great. For the first time I feel as if Em a part of lUP. It ' s great! -Lesley Hoi ton i ■■ ' . ' RESlDENf ' Iand ' RS.JOHND.WELTV Jop: Cartoon characters cheered up through the parade.

lUP MARCHING BAND Quality In Motion Under the direction of Dr. Charles E. Casavant, the lUP Marching Band provided a wide variety of entertaining shows during its 1986 season. Drum Majors Dan Ebling, Jim Jolly and Brad Genevro led the band in a total of five different shows which consisted of songs such as Tanquero, the theme from the Jetsons, Spies in the Night, Why Not, Summer Sunrise and Somewhere, the love theme form Westside Story and this year ' s biggest crowd pleas- er. Also included in the show was Amazing Grace, the band ' s traditional closer in post-game shows. The shows were performed at football games, the Home- coming Parade, as well as festi- vals throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. At their last show the band was honored t o have Vincent De Martin, a re- nowned trumpet soloist per- form with them in the number Fire Dance. The shows allowed the high quality of the band ' s instru- mental and marching abilities to be seen as well as showing off some of the individual abili- ties of its members in solos. Mike McAfee and Jenny Good had trumpet and French horn solos respectively in Some- where. Why Not gave Terrisa Kelly and Dave Wy- gonik opportunity to demon- strate their talents on the French horn and trumpet. Carl Miller played trumpet with Paula Townsend on baritone during Tanquero. Dr. Casavant designed the drills the band executed. Many of these drills included forma- tions in which the band would play to the back of the stadium, a move which allowed the spec- tators sitting in the back to see the formations instead of the backs of the members. The band is a close knit group often referred to as Ca- savant ' s little family. Junior Jim Zaborowski remembers the 1986 season as being a long one. The fall rains turned the practice field into a veritable mud puddle and the band had to contend with slip- ping and sliding through the drills. According to Zabor- owski, Each show had its moments. In view of next year ' s band and how graduation ' 87 will af- fect it, the opinion is We ' re losing quality, not quantity. -Becky Light Top: The majorettes added visual ef- fects to the shows.
