Combined State-Pitt Band Routine Not As Tough As It Looked All the Monday morning quar terbacks have by this time analyz ed completely Penn State’s grid iron victory, over the Pitt Panthers, but people are still asking how the combined Blue Band-Pitt band half-time routine was “worked up” and run off so smoothly. The 80 blue-clads and the 125 Pitt bandsmen,it will be recalled, performed as ' one huge unit in spelling out “PS,” “U of P,” and forming a grand piano for their “Piano Concerto.”, The answer, Blue Band Director “Hum” Fishburn insists, is quite simple. “We merely learned our separate half of the routine, the Pitt boys. learned theirs, and a short joint practice the day of the game was all that was needed.” . .'Responsible for the idea of mass maneuvers' was Robert Arthur, Pitt bandmaster who is a Penn State graduate. Through a long distance phone call he and Hum agreed they were tired of doing the same old things and willing to try something new. Consequently, Arthur and Lieu tenant Dugan, Pitt’s drillmaster, motored here the following Sun day to work out the details with Fishburn and two of his bands men,. president Walt James and manager Herb Turnbull. The boys in blue learned the Pitt songs at their regular Tues day evening practice in addition to holding the usual blackboard drill. Two short sessions on the golf course drill field were enough to teach each horn-tooter his exact position (gauged by the sideline market’s) in each formation. The Pitt’ band made’ similar prepara tions, and the combined practice Saturday morning was almdst un necessary. i 3U|t latlij ® (EnU NIA WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 3, STATE COLLEGE, PA, noon today and continuing until 5 In order to insure better check ing facilities, the side door of the Armory facing Mineral Industries Building will ibe used as entrance instead of the front door, Harry W.
