l I Q The Marching Jayhawks marched down Campanille Hill and sang It's Hog Calling Time in the northeast section of Memorial Stadium before drum majors Dustin Bauerle and Kellie Lankford led them onto the field before each home football game. The band has marked each home football game this way since 1979. with a field formation of a Sunflower and a block formations during the pre-game marching show. The four football half-time shows were dedicated to Santana. Beatles. an American Tribute and Cershwin. A new face joined the marching band this year with the introduction of a new band director, Dr. james Hudson. He had a different view and gave marching band a different feel, said Sarah Connelly, sophomore. The cohesivness of the group made for another new development. Band members said the band was more like a solid unit than several individual sections, Despite the effortless look of the Marching Jayhawks, hard work made the band what they where. Prior to the start of the school year, students participated in summer band camp. This enabled students to be plugged into a group of others with common interests and to begin learning fundamentals for the marching season. Once school started. the band practiced from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The band also held Continuity practices Saturday mornings from 7 to 8 p.m. before each game they participated in. The band could always be counted on to boost energy levels of the crowd throughout each game they were involved in. Whether they played 'Tm a Jay or another favorite tune, the band had enthusiasm that surged through the stands at Memorial Stadium during the marching season. g'Like any other sport, the marching band also had goals and worked together as a team to get shows ready for football games and other gigs, said Kellie Lankford. junior. The importance of teamwork was essential to having a successful show that everyone was proud off' Throw together some rocking polyester uniforms, a few weeks of band camp and a couple decades of tradition, and you've got yourself a party.
