The Marching Band of Defiance High added much color and enioyment to the au- tumn evening with its renditions of old favor- ites as well as popular tunes. Never allowing themselves to follow a set pattern, the band members could always be counted on for a different and entertaining half-time program at the football games. Two of the band's best liked programs were Hill-billy Hit Parade, a medley of tunes with a nasal twang, and Hats off to Dad, their Dad's Night show which fea- tured songs with different hats in their titles. Some of the other enjoyable programs featured western songs, rock-and-roll, and minstrel melodies. The Band, directed by Mr. Blanchard, dis- played fine showmanship and helped to further an already proud musical tradition. 107
