Band The pictures above shows the band in its most popular formation, the forming of the letters C P”. This formation, along with other duties when skillfully executed during the routine, look surprisingly simple and automatic to the viewer in the bleachers, but many hours of practice has made them this way; and almost perfect. The half¬ time entertainment at the football games is com¬ posed of these drills and formations, expertly executed while the band plays appropriate marches. The many varied routines make a beautiful picture on the field but the most spectacular is the night drill in which the band members don lighted hats. The drill is an important part of band curriculum, and the band has made it a perfected part. Row 1: B. Sigler, D. Bennett, T. Bowman, B. Feighner, D. Keighner, D. Klassen, H. Bremer, H. Hill, B.
