Letters to the Editor
Band Defended
Emerald Editor:
This letter is in response to the
Open Letter to the Band of Nov.
9.
I am proud to say that I have
been a member of the University
Bands for a period of four years,
and that during that time we
have attained the reputation of
being one of the finest bands on
the West Coast. During the four
years we have played for 24 foot
ball games, numerous basketball
games, several parades, and
many rallies, on and off campus.
I know from experience that
members of the hand do not
lack “school spirit,’’ as evi
denced by spontaneous yells,
chants, and yell combinations
(Woody Woodpecker and
Dragnet) which have origina
ted in the Band. A band does
not create spirit. It merely
complements that which is al
ready present. Please don’t say
that the band is the cause for
lack of “school spirit.’’
What does the University Band
do? Why don’t they do more to
earn their “snap’’ grade and
credit? (Band members have not
even received a grade for their
efforts for the past two years.)
To answer these questions, one
must see what makes a Satur
day afternoon halftime show.
First, the staff must think up
some shows to use in the fall.
Then, formations have to be de
termined and appropriate music
chosen. The formations rnhst be
charted in detail for each mem
ber has a designated place on the
field.
One show may have as many
as six different formations, some
with moving parts. The music
must be arranged, mimeograph
ed, cut and passed out to every
band member. The problem of
coordinating the mass move
ments of over 100 members to
clear formations with well-played
music is yet to come.
To accomplish this, the band
meets three times weekly to
learn the music and formations
which are new nearly every
week. Often their outdoor re
hearsals are dampened by the
cold, fog and Oregon Mist.
Before each Saturday game
the band holds a special rehear
sal to sharpen up the formations
and smooth out the music. Thus
each show is presented week

after week. The day of the big:
game comes and the band, as js
expected, puts on a halftime
show to entertain the spectators.
The game is won or lost, and the
next day the papers are full of
praise for heroic acts on the
gridiron.
Yet not a word is said to ex
press thanks or appreciation to
the Band for the hard work
they went to, in presenting this
show. (This letter of Nov. 9th
has at least attracted a little at
tention to the members of the
band.)
There are many people on
campus who have played in the
band. If you ask them why
they are not In It now, the
common answer will be— “It
takes too much time!”
The Band does back the rally
squad by playing for scheduled
rallies and pep-parades. A pep
band has played for downtown
rallies and parades previous to
the UCLA and San Jose State
games and will play before the
OSC game. The Idaho rally was
cancelled.
The Band Manager was not
notified that a pep band was
needed Nov. 5 for a USC Vic
tory Rally. Instead he read Nov.
5 in the Emerald that pep band
will be present. By this time it
is too late! The Band Manager
must be notified at least two
days prior to the date. A band
cannot be a hit or miss affair.
There must be some organization
of personnel and instrumenta
tion.
The Oregon band plays more
than the traditional “Mighty
Oregon.” Many people do not
even recognize the also tra
ditional fight song “Down the
Field". Those that recognize
the tune seldom know the
words. Few realize that It Is
not a part of “Mighty Ore
gon.” In the past when the
band has played the “Pledge

The U of O Band, as in the
past, is willing to cooperate ami
do its share. I don't think School
Spirit can be Judged only by the
degree of noise generated before,
during and after a game. I think
that it should instead be Judged
according to the amount of or
ganization, cooperation and
“team work" which is necessary
to accomplish a task, whether it
be to create noise and enthus
iasm, to present a halftime show,
or to win a football game.
Kaoul Maddox
Band Manager
Emerald Editor:
This is in regard to the letter
of November 9th concerning Ore
gon's spirit. The band is not the
complete solution to the lack
of pep at the games.
The person who wrote the
last letter stated that a rally
squad was not large enough to
Inspire a big mass of people.
If Oregon had an organized
rooting section consisting of
70 or more people who would
really yell, they would help a
great deal.
Freshman students feel out of
place if no one else is cheering
with them.
