Being after an absence of five years, the band will be under the direction of Alvin Wardle and Dean Madsen, USI Music Department. The staff will also include music department members Flen Fifield, Dennis Griffin, and Larry Smith. We are very encouraged by support from the university, alumni and students. We are planping on 100 members, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have more than that, Madsen comments. Over the Christmas holiday, Dr. Wardle and I visited 15 high schools in northern Utah. A total of 220 high school band members and USU music students have filled out a form expressing an interest in playing with the band next fall, Madsen explains. Irving Wassermaim, head of USUs Music Department, feels that the marching band will serve a dual purpose. The future activity of most music education majors will be with the high school bands that they will direct, says Wassermann. but where is the 10c loaf of bread today? We must eliminate or update these problems, Hammond says.

Advice has also been solicited from the various departments involved in these training programs.

I think that a good marching band presents a heartwarming image of USU and that it is a morale booster to Aggie fans and athletes. The band, which will perform at football half-tim- e shows and march in parades, will have new uniforms. They are being designed by Sidney Perkes, awardwinning designer of the USU Theatre Department.

Since the marching hand was disbanded after fall, 1970, there has been a whole new world of percussion instruments. We either had to look like an antique band and use the old instruments or get new ones, Madsen says. During winter and spring quarters, the band will divide into two musical groups: the Symphonic Band and the newly formed Bicentennial Band. CACHE VALLEY CHEESE AT FACTORY PRICES :j.
