Carolina football fans used to
watch the half-time show with an
air of amused tolerance.
That was before Ralph Wahl.
Today, the fans are as enthusiastic
about the marching band as they
are about the passing of Tommy
Suggs.
The band is some 160 persons
strong and fields 128 musical
pieces. It features the USC Atlantic

assistants, George Naff, Jack
Bircher and Pat Wylie.
