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 surrounding the sides. The focus of the picture is a large circle formation with a cross formation inside. The band members are in different uniforms based on their positions in the formation. Around the circle are several smaller circles of color guards and majorettes. There is a large crowd on the bleachers and several other groups around the back of the stadium. There are a few campus buildings visible as well. The field is surrounded by a chain fence with barbed wire.
