Description
This was contained in a sleeve labeled, "ASTC Band Formations Home Coming/Half time, 10-22-55." This picture shows the Appalachian State Teachers College marching band on the football field during a 1955 halftime show. This event was a gathering of current and alumni band members to celebrate homecoming. The band is in several formations around the field and is also surrounding the sides. The focus of the picture is a series of ribbons that are placed in the shape of the United States flag. The color guard and a few majorettes are in small circles around the flag. The band is in various uniforms depending on their position in the field. A large crowd is watching the formation from the bleachers. There are a few campus buildings visible in the background as well. The field is surrounded by a chain fence with barbed wire.
