EAGLES MARCH ON! “Ten hut, ten hut, hut two three four,” was one of the many commands Ruskin residents woke up to as the band had their early morning practices at Sycamore Park. This was an essential step toward marching perfection, taking the band to the Veil of Prophets Parade in St. Louis. Mr. Schult, assistant director, aided Mr. Snodgrass in preparation for both the CMSU street marching and SMSU field marching contests. The band proved to be ex- cellent in both competitions receiving first and third places respectively. Though contests were difficult, so was marching behind horses in the American Royal Parade. Concert season, although a busy one, proved successful, as the band received a one rating at district contest at CMSU. But then, who would dare give them a two? The marching band is a big part of the homecoming parade.
