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 . A farewell grin from Don Minx, one of the South ' s foremost directors, and the Indian band is off. ' I ' ll have you know peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made me what I am today .

Everyone is at attention, all is in readiness, the whistle tweets, GO ! . . .And The Word Is Perfection The Indian Band marches on and wherever it goes, the qual- ity of its performance has brought the name of Arkansas State to fore. This year band director Don Minx was assisted by Tom Williams, new to the A-State campus. Always a crowd pleaser, John Erwin, drum major, donned a Batman cape and mask to accent one of the band ' s more colorful shows. Lead- ing the majorette line this year in its many clever routines was Carol Rand, head majorette. Taking over an honor be- stowed in years gone by to the state ' s other university, the Marching Indians were the lead band in the Arkansas Live- stock Exposition Parade. A trip to Murray State to perform at halftime, a concert at the Mid-South Fair and the Jones- boro Christmas Parade were also a part of its schedule. Most assuredly, the A-State band holds a ranking among the elite of its kind in the nation. Feature twirler Ben Coonfield provides a show in him- self as he twirls at the sideline during a performance As if being able to carry one of the things isn ' t a feat in itself, the tuba section performs a feature number on one leg.
