Once each month the band assembles at Union Station in downtown Ioliet to give local service draft selectees a rousing send-off to thier initial training sites. This patriotic gesture, which has become a traditional personal duty of the band since the early days of World War II, can be better appreciated when it is realized that entraining for encampment is a ritual usually occurring at about daybreak. How- ever, it would make little difference to the band boys when entraining occurred: they simply feel it their duty to see that the novice soldiers have a departure that they will long remember. Regarded as the most spectacular dis- play of marching technique is enacted by the band on the playing field at football games. During half-time periods the fans are treated to thrilling precision drill rou- tines. The band has perfected elaborately executed marching routines to such favor- ites as Steam Heat and St. Louis Blues. Several routines effected by the band have been patterned from those designed and used by the famous University of Michigan marching band. Also, the ideas and sug- gestions advanced by the band boys have been utilized to perfect these and to cre- ate others. Perforrnance at athletic contests also includes home basketball games, where the l i MICHAEL I OTHEN President MARK PUDDICOMBE Vice President psalm, P? f f .CFL 1 THOM BARBER Secretary , Arif' . -,ff it rl ' ,- l?'Qf::rfftQi ,N a- X ful.
