Under the direction of Mr. Donald Kutchback, the mem- bers ofthe band again distinguished themselves. The bandis imaginative schedule included half-time shows at Penn's football games and the ever-present pep band during the cage season. Football fans cheered band performances featuring music from Mary Poppins and james Bond themes. The Pennettes, with umbrella ac- cessories, contributed to the effectiveness of the Mary Poppins' numbers, while strains of Gold Finger and jamaica jump-Up were immediately identified by foot- ball fans as music from the popular james Bond series. October will be remembered by band members for their trip to Ball State for Band Dayn. November and December were busy months for practice, practice, and more practice.
