Band MARCH AND SWING

From an insignificant beginning in 1904 when Bro. Louis Vogt, S.M., organized a 12-piece band, the University of Dayton band has expanded into its present 60-piece unit. Maurice Reichard has been director of the band since 1929 and has been responsible for its unique gridiron formations and annual concerts.

Tagged with the name "Flyers," the band has adopted as its specialty numerous airplane formations. Out in front of the unit this year was ace drum major, Robert Dawson, number three baton twirler in the country. Besides playing for all football games, the band entertained at basketball tilts and presented its annual concert in the N. C. R. auditorium.
