966173 0 Appropriation of two thousand dollars by the All-College Council to purchase uni- forms and instruments for College band members has made possible the organi- zation of an All-College band as a distinct unit from the Academy military band. The reception which was accorded the new band by students attending the recent convo- cation concert indicates that interest is whole-heartedly behind the Council's action in this new project. In addition to playing for convocations, pep fests, parades and athletic events, the band steps out occasionally for an evening of its own. One of its successful functions was the band club dance. Directing the band is Sergeant John Weber, U. S. A. re- tired. Donald Frechette is student director. as-ij they G0 'O b 11 0,S.E2Qz.z?3'HZ1fz.dfhfffhaffw ' music whfnmn thly gckzlodcrm 4'01md'
