Dating a Band Photo From the Archives

I was one of the bass drummers in the marching band in ’74 and ’75 and the photo that is in the November issue of PAW is from ’75. Although I don’t remember the names, I am the bass drummer in the far left side of the photo (half of the bass drum is cut off). If my memory serves me correctly, the fellow next to me is John Beers ’76. Not only do I recognize John, but also the other bass drummer in the bank was a sophomore when I was a senior and he had red hair (as in the photo). I also recognize the faces of the others in this picture, but simply don’t remember the names.

I hope there is a way to verify the date of the photo!

Editor’s note: The image ran on PAW’s Nov. 2, 1981, cover under the headline “The Band Cleans Up Its Act,” and an inside credit said the photo was provided by the University’s Communications Office. No date was given.
