The Mighty Marching Panther Band (left) steps off to lead the '78 Homecoming Parade. Coach Demuth (below) feels the power as he prepares to lead our Panthers on to a Victory. Friday night’s bonfire helped set the mood for Saturday's big game. As students chanted yells, they watched a stuffed Scot go up in flames. Let’s get fired up; burn those Scots! To top off Homecoming what’s better than a Panther Victory? Below is one of the many touchdowns that made up the 47-14 score to give our Mighty Panthers a big Homecoming win. 9

start ■w August 23, 1978, the Indiana State Fair Band Day Competition saw Elwood participating for the first time in 10 years. A great deal of hard work and sweat was put into the preparation of the four minute show. The band worked all summer plus one exhausting week spent at band camp at St. Francis College in Ft. Wayne. There were 34 bands in competition at the 1978 State Fair Band Day. Our band’s drive and determination all seemed worth it when they rolled in 18th place, far more than what they expected and a great finish for the first year there! s 0
