But there is an interesting stor behind the band. It is mostly i story of hard work, for- the aver age band member must put it about four hours a week in ordei to keep up with the group. Durin the football season band member! must practice and perfect intricati fiel maneuvwers in addition to th< regular musical practice. Ever 'Tuesday aini Thursday evening from 6 to 7:30, the full band maN be fouid rehearsing not onl3 lively tmarches, but new fighl songs, and alma maters, for dur ing football season the band al ways serenades the out-of-towr guests at the games with thei 4)%wnIl school songs. Travel Engagements (nlie of the most enjoyable activ. ities of the band is when the groul packs uip all their instruments fol an out-of-town trip. Aniong tht most memorable of these journey was the trip to Norfolk, Virginia last year for the Carolina-Virginit game, which was held in th< famous oyster Howl. It was a bii (lay for the band, for the game hat Irawn niany thousands of specta tors inl addition to numerous ol tle best high school han(ls in the Soith. The event, sponsored by the Shrilners for the belnefit of their Crippled ChilIren's IHospital, was a fabulous Show.

Bill V fullback slot and will be counted u .d Plays I niversity z - and majorettes marched on th - field. And the Carolina band hel t a standout position in the midst o all the half-time activities. Th( imembers were a little ruffle t after the half when they foun - out that they had been televise< i while on the field, and it becam an even more memorable day foi them when the Carolina team came from behind in the last minutes of the game to defeat Virginia ir a fabulous burst of touchdowns. Just as they were the strongest cheerers for Carolina at that Vir ginia game, so are they in Caro lina stadium. The band has al ways shown spirit and team sup port at the games, and it seem that sometimes when everyone els has given up hope that the Game cocks will take a game the ban< sticks by the team. They have exhibited this zestful school spiri even more strongly at out-of-towr games, where the team need& every cheer it can get from th( stands. Not All Music Majors Contrary to the general idea the majority of band members ar< not music majors. They come fron all the schools of the university I and play in the band strictly foi pleasure. For this reason thert is among the group a fine espril de corps. One word against the University of South Carolina oi its hand and you are liable to receive a blast from any one of the band members. A number of the boys in the band p)lay in pro. qs to RicA ed to Tig to pile into the old bus and twc cars which they rented from Car Clinkscales and embark on a cir cuit of all the girls' colleges anc towvns throughout the state. Ir those days when the entertainmen1 world was not yet so fulls d (evelopedl and all-pervading, the band wvould play to packed houses andl pocket several hundred dollar after expenses. This money wva usedl to repair andl rep)la.e instru* ments, and it also p)roducedl a Vic trola andl a collection of records Imagine the chagrin of thE musicians when they returnet from vacation one year to find thE IVictriota, a clarinet, and the rec ordls out in the rain where a nev.

Alumni who once played in the I band often return whenever they I can to play with the group. The band has a fine building of its own, to which it moved several years ago after having used a temporary wooden structure for its rehearsals. In the band build ing there is a large sound-proof practice room, offices, instrument rooms, and smaller practice rooms for individual work. Concerts After football season the band dives right into the work of presenting a concert season of fine music for symphonic band. Usually the group gives three concerts during this season, with works chosen from among the best com Posers. But as always it is the football season which keeps the band on the go, for the game would not be the same without a snappy band on hand. Only the worst weather keeps the group from performing and the band has even had occa sion to play in the rain. And so this is the heart of the Carolina band-hard work, fine school spirit, and good musician ship. With this spirit and the able leadership of its likeable director, Mr. Richard Zimmerman, the Carolina band marches on for the glory and victory of its alma mater. ~es Could rer Band dance bands in the Southeast. Band ,Kept Busy In recent years the Clemson band has marched In many Christ mas parades and other civic pageants, accompanied the football team on many of its longer trips, and appeared in concert as well as march formations. Last year it was featured in Charleston's Azalea Festival, and a return invi tation has been extended them for this year. Members of -the concert band, a smaller group, participated in Clemson's first adventure into a full length musical production, "The Student Prince," which was stagedl last spring, andl this year will present a concert of Christmas music. h!alftime Performance This Year This year's group has worked out some variations to the regular military marching. Several preci sion and (lance routines have been prepared to enliven half-time ac tivities at football games, and a score entitled "Frontier Days" will be presentedl on Big Thursday. Betweenl rounds of the TPiger Rooster scrap, Carolina Stadium will witness a duel between pio neers andl Redskins. Directing this feud will be Cdt. Capt. Jimmy PhiHips, Iki Company comn man(der; Cdt. Lt. Bob Plowden, student director; (Cdt. Lt1. Bill Caughman, bandmaster. Coordina tion of pectivities will be the task of Sgt. D)avid L. Dickerson, Tae Itical officer, and Mr. L.ovett, di rector of music at Clemson. Today finds music at Clemson on the highest level since its in ception. The Clemson College band has played an increasingly important role in the musical life of Clemson andl the state. Signs of the future indlicate continuedl growth andl greater achievements. lints off to the Tiger tunestersi GAMECOCK CENTER . . Leon Cunningham, above, is onc of a long line of Ganiccock centers. The Junior from Atlanta, Ga. made a name for himself last year in the Big Thursday game when he was selected as outstanding player of the day. At that time he was a defen sive linebacker but now perform@ the additional duties of an offensive center. Ile was named to the all-state and all-southern teams at the close of the last season. Hampered by a knee injury he has been slowed somewhat this year but has still turned in a good job in the line. He is also a member of the Gamecock track squad, running the 440-yard dash and one leg of the mile relay.
