Marching Band
With high steps and stirring fanfare, the Band
opened each football game on a note of excitement.
Besides participating on the gridiron, the band enter–
tained thousands of spectators on prominent parade
routes.
To execute intricate formations and routines the
musicians, majorettes, flag girls, and letter line, under
the direction of Mr. Samuel Bill, spent endless hours
on the practice field. At performance time when the
crowd responded generously with applause, band
members were pleasantly rewarded.
On October 26, 1964, they performed at Pitt Sta–
dium, before a Steeler crowd for the first time since
1948. The band was viewed by
40,000
people at the
stadium plus thousands on television.
Performances at the Buckwheat Festival at King–
wood, West Virginia, and the Apple Blossom Festival
in Winchester, Virginia, were premiers for the group.
The latter was enjoyed greatly, for band members
were treated to a guided tour of Washington, D.C.
The year was one of adventure and interest for the
entire group.
