Band Creates Routines, Plays For Special Ceremoniesg us, M'ith a roll of the drums and a toss ol' their tasseled hats, the band started their routines during half times of the football games.

In the formation of a Car, the band moved down the field during one half time to the melody ol My Merry Oldsmobile. Other songs which the band marched to were Hello, l.ibert5 Bell, and The Marine Hymn.
