A pep meeting at A-State would be sadly lacking without the music and antics of the Indian pep band. Practice, Practice And More Practice. All too often, we look at the finished product and in our haste fail to consider the hours of mental and physical effort that have gone before. A-State ' s Marching Indian Band is held in high esteem by all who have seen and heard it perform. Here, too, one sees the finished product. Seldom does one realize the individual sacrifices that have been made in crder to make the band better. Members of the band returned to school one week prior to formal registration to begin practice. During that week they practiced eight hours a day. Six of that eight were spent out in the hot September sun marching and learning new routines. The two re- maining hours were devoted solely to instrumental and group sectional practices. After school began, one and a half hours daily were spent in practice. Subsequently, the band was better than ever. They presented a thrilling new show each game to the delight of all present. Practice, practice and more practice . . .and the word is perfection .
