Boosting school spirit, Tunstall’s own Tramping Trojan Band stepped high into the school year. Led by five majorettes and two drum majors, they represented our school proudly at many social and school functions. Halftimes at home football games were graced by the band’s excellent formations and difficult precision drills. J.V. game spirit was raised by the performance of a pep band, consisting of members from the concert band. They also paced the Danville and Chatham parades. Our band made a trip to Charlottesville, November 16, to attend the University of Virginia Band Day. Here, along with 80 bands from the state, they performed a brilhant halftime show for the Governor. The auditorium rang with the sound of music as the band gave their annual Christmas and Spring concerts for the student body. As a money-making project, the band sold doughnuts investing their money in a new Oboe and a set of Tympani. At the Vinton Dogwood Festival parade in the spring, the Tramping Trojan Band used their new instrumentation to help them receive an excellent rating, in the competition for grades. Tramping Trojans Gain Honors for Effort TUNSTALL’S MARCHING BAND (shown above) performed in numerous activities. 58
