his Vandal musicians appeared to be ballyhooing a state funeral after Ronald noted Utah university band pranced off the field Clocked in their business district performance at 178 steps a minute the Gregorians looked akin to high-stepping circus Arabians Brum Major A1 Miller took band on the Bronco stadium turf at about 130-132 steps a minute still closer to the 128-step prescription for Army and Marine Corps marching outfits Football has done more to speed up music than anything else It has to be peppy to keep up the spirit of a losing team It is conceivable that racing of martial music got its start Bill A Wheeler at some big football game in sub-zero weather Perhaps the bands of some famous schools really want to put cold metal to their lips and were in a hurry to get it over with This

tempo of football music the six bands here for Bronco stadium dedication Sept 22 favored fans with a treat rarely equalled at an athletic event save at some of the big bowl games Boise Junior college pep band 1950 style made its debut under direction of John Best It was smartly outfitted and proved to be the biggest band the school has ever fielded more it plays a lot of music Boise high marching band made an impressive appearance under its new director Henry Von Der Heide There was good discipline in its neat ranks and although short a couple of uniforms it could boast the most complete instrumentation in a number of years Payette high school band was its lisual well-trained self smartly presented by Jay Stoner Both Boise and Payette drum majorettes appeared as strong candidates for first-division ratings at the 1951 music festivals The Boise majorettes introduced a spritely new routine a crowd-pleaser consisting of a graceful dance step uncommon to twirling routines It may be a long time before crowds again are so privileged For most of the great number of fans at Bronco Stadium for the BJC-Modesto and Utah-Idaho games it was the first time they had seen tle Utah band in action This group is billed as one of the three top college bands in the nation and it is easy to see why More than 100 bodies maintained rigid uniformity through exhaustive maneuvers Some of the more assiduous fans were aware of the presence of the University of two drum majorettes They are a four-legged reason why it is remarkable that Director baton gets any attention EXCLUSIVE IN OUR STORE A
