Band toga night?

Pre-season camp was on hot and sunny Buchtel Field, and we had to race the tubas to the water jugs-trombones beat them ONCE!

A secret video made in the dusk and muck at Buchtel in 1972.

Trombones were featured on "More" in front of the whole band...heady stuff for a freshman, who was told if water wasn't running out of her bell at the end, she wasn't blowing hard enough. It was! Thanks for the advice, Jeff!
