'f9Ff'P3i'7 ' Band The LBCC Band is one of the largest performing groups of its kind. It is divided up into squads of four, and maneuvers are centered around these small, mobile groups. Squads are in competition with each other, and are honored from week to week for their work.

One is the stately, bold, powerful style that is the true tradition of the ancient Vikings. The other is the typical fast cadence of modern day show bands. The band actually is more than just a musical performing organization. It is a center of social activities, intramural athletics, and a chance for fur- thering musical knowledge and abilities. Spirit and enthusiasm are by-words of the band, and each member perfqrmed af all fogfbqll games realizes his responsibility to the school, the show, and himself and an intense feeling of pride for their accomplishments.
