| Transcript | Music Musicians Flutist Larry Key displays his motto during a band practice, above. Right, Tom Cummings beats his drum for the Varsity Stage Band at an afternoon concert given in the University Center Arbor. The Varsity Stage Band was formed last year. 430 Drum Major Kenneth Sparks marches along side the band during one of its many football halftime performances, left. Band members rest after completing their halftime show, above. As avid Cougar fans, they turn their attention to the game. Stir Up Halftime Excitement With Precision Drills Setting a musical theme of service through education and entertainment is the primary objective of the University of Houston Band. Under the supervision of Band Director James T. Matthews, the 178- member band receives instrumental training while serving all facets of the university. The band regularly plays at football games, graduation exercises and Wednesday afternoon concerts in the Arbor. Last year a Varsity Stage Band, under the direction of Aubrey Tucker, was formed to play at basketball games. In addition to campus events, the Band played for the Southwest Regional Convention of College Band Directors, the opening of the Masters' Golf Tournament and the United Fund Victory Dinner at the Rice Hotel. The band also hosted the Region 13 Contest that brought high school students from Houston and its surrounding areas for competition and honors. 431 |
