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.
