1958 Seminole Dedication: THESE PAGES ARE DEDICATED by the SEMINOLE to Colonel Harold B. Bachman. This dedication comes through the staff, but is from all students of the University. It comes from his band students, both former and present. It conies from those with whom he has worked and it comes from all who have seen his shows. Colonel Bachman retires in August 1958, after 10 years as Director of the University of Florida Bands. Under superb leadership and guidance, the Gator Band has won national recognition as one of the finest collegiate bands anywhere, not only in marching and gridiron pageantry but in the field of serious concert literature as well. The Colonel ' s deep kindness and great strength of charac- ter have influenced and benefited his innumerable students and colleagues over the past four decades. His contributions to his country and his profession have been greater than can be expressed in these few words. Here are a few of the highlights of his remarkable personal career. After serving with distinction in World War I, the BACHMAN MILLION DOLLAR BAND toured the country extensively for ten years entertaining millions of Americans. Then began a new career and the making of other major con- tributions to the American musical scene, particularly in the development of the music clinic, the adjudication of com- petition-festivals, and the setting of patterns for sight-reading contests. He became editor and advisor on school music mate- rials with the Educational Music Bureau in Chicago, Director of the University of Chicago Band, and taught master classes for music directors at the University of Idaho for ten summers. Among other assignments during World War II, he was supervisor of Army musical activities in the South Pacific area. He is past president of the American Bandmasters Associa- tion and has been active in the College Band Directors National Association and myriads of other national music organizations. The Colonel has distinguished himself on campus through his continued aid and encouragement to students. He has given much time to Gator Growl and numerous other shows. He has also served as chairman of the Faculty Discipline Com- mittee. Campus leaders have recognized his service by making him an honorary member of Florida Blue Key. All who have worked with him have profitted through his guidance. The Colonel-, with cigar in mouth and cane in hand, has become a familiar and welcome sight around the campus. He will be missed by all. I I
