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 triangle formation with a "U" inside. The band members are in different uniforms based on their positions in the formation. On the right side of the picture, the color guard and a few majorettes are dancing in small circles. On the left side of the picture, there is a group of cheerleaders in uniforms that spell "Spencer." There is a large crowd on the bleachers in the background and the entire field is surrounded by fencing with barbed wire. A few campus buildings are visible and Howard's Knob is in the far left of the frame. Two banners are being held up with advertisements for "Science Club Beta Beta Beta" and "E. Duggin's Insecticide."
