Ladies and Gentlemen............THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH VARSITY MARCHING BAND! No words express more pride than this introduction for it ushers in a university musical aggregation which is second to none. And yet, the students which comprise this group are anything but professional musicians. They will some day take their places in the fields of law, medicine, engineering, and business, but this year they have taken their places on the drill field as one of the outstanding marching bands in the country. Of course, where a group of this size is concerned, there must Ik men who manage, who plan, and just plain work. These men constantly came up with new formations and drills which, incidentally, the band executed at a cadence of 180 steps per minute. Practice sessions all week long prepare these men for apj»carances at football games, reviews, and | ep rallies. The Stadium Review in December is just one of the many high points in an eventful year. Oh yes! the band meml ers attend classes too. Hats off to a fine organization! THE VARSITY MARCHING BAND! Kappa Kappa Psi award for outstanding bandsman of the year. 24 The band salutes the stadium after the traditional Hail to Pitt.'
