COLLEGE BAND DAY DESCRIBED BY GUEST AS THRILLING EVENT Last Saturday, the McHenry high school band had a thrilling day when it participated in the second annual high school band day at Northwestern university. Sixty-four bands, totalling nearly 5,000 students, assembled Saturday morning at Dyche stadium for a brief rehearsal under direction of John P. Paynter, director of the N. U. band. • On a practice field, nearly 500 majorettes, drum majors and color guards practiced their part for the half-time spectacle. By 11:30, all the students were seated in the stadium to watch the 130-piece Northwestern university band perform. It was an inspiration to see the precision of this large band and thrill to its music. Many students were a little surprised to find out how much time a college student has to spend in order to meet the requirements of a college band. By kick-off time the color and excitement of a college football game was seeping into the veins of each guest. The game itself between Northwestern and Tulane added plenty of fuel to the fire. The real thrill was the half time program. From one goal post to another, every inch of space was filled with color of the sixty-four band uniforms. It is estimated that over $900,000 worth of band equipment was on display and $400,000 worth of uniforms. This spectacle represented the largest massed band ever to be gathered together in the Chicago area. After the game, each band was introduced as it passed in review COUNTY COUNCIL, PTA.
