Last May, at Huntington at the State Band Festival the band received the su- perior rating for its concert performance, the highest rating to any attending band, and an excellent rat- ing in its maneuvers. Six members were awarded first chair placements in the All-State B Band. This year, as is customary, the band presented marching maneuvers at all home football games. It also attended games at East Bank, and Charleston. Drum Major Bob Hancock was called into the service before the last game and Buford Conley, the newly selected strutting drum major of this year, filled the vacancy until he too left for the Navy two months later. Claude Lanham has since then been selected as drum major with Eugene McLaughlin as assistant and successor-to-be. James Pierce succeeds Buford Conley with Jack Dudding as assistant. 5 I I.: , , I jwlr I- f nf 5. is 'ull 'A f F-.- iff 64:5 X N ! l , 4 .r ,f ' -P ' - ff, ...E . I I ll lll. X 'F X!
