BORG .-2 6.. BAND Under the direction of Mr. Borg, the band this semester has had a very suc- cessful marching and concert season. Aiding Mr. Borg during the marching period, when the band appeared at foot- ball games, and other activities con- nected with sports, was Dick Strasburg, the drum major. When the bond was on the field, Dick was responsible for direct- ing the maneuvers. Marching with the drum major in front of the band are the five colorful major- ettes and the four color-guards. The complete band, combined with this color- ful array, forms a very picturesque scene as it moves down the field. Having com- pleted the marching season, the bond settles down for the concert season. Un- like the marches and cadences stressed while the band is marching, they now study the more serious types of music. Appreciation of fine music is one of the points considered at this time. We hope that Mr. Borg will have many more se- mesters as successful as his first one has been.
