Pageant Night Honors Old Glory John Ahrens, our drum major for the past three years, rates special recognition for his fine leadership. The Junior and Senior High Bands proudly re-enacted The History of Our Flag for pageant night. The story of the development of Old Glory from the first flag made by Betsy Ross to our present flag of fifty stars was told as the band formed the Liberty Bell, Abe Lincoln's hat, and the U. S. shield, to the tunes of Stars and Stripes Forever, Grand Old Flag, and Yankee 18 - Pageant Night Doodle Dandy. Next the band paid tribute to the East High Alumni of I934. The traditional display of fireworks concluded Pageant Night. Fireworks explode and confetti flies, but Cathie Wittrock and Carolyn Natvig play on. The band forms the United States shield as it honors O1d Glory
