The versatile organization was a snappy outfit on the football field and gave a number of polished performances in concert programs. Making football trips to Shawnee-Mission and Ot- tawa, in addition to playing at all the home games they provided the proper atmosphere and spirit. Many in- tricate formations were displayed in the entertainment they furnished during the half-time intermissions. After much hard work the band again competed in the KU Music Festival, giving an excellent account of itself. W Officers were elected early in the year and a group of councilmen was set up to represent the band members in deciding where the band should play and in helping Mr. Stephenson with the affairs of the organization.
