Description
Photograph of the school marching band in uniform taken from a ladder or balcony in the gymnasium. The band members are assembled in two large semicircles with the drummers, majorette, and director across the front. All are looking up at the camera.
This photo appears in the 1953 Wenonah yearbook on p. 42. The text reads: "A Sousa march, a little jazz, or a peppy Winona Fight Song were just a few of the pieces presented by the college band. Whether playing for a basketball or football game, marching in the Homecoming or the Winona Merchants' parades, or presenting a concert to the students, the band demonstrated their fine musical abilities in developing a varied musical background. As a group they also sponsored a Christmas dance under the leadership of the following officers: Luverne Christianson, president; Charles Fox, vice-president; Faye Prigge, secretary-treasurer; Eugene Steffes, librarian; and Fred Heyer, adviser."
