This is the Band with the giant drum. The twirlers came first, then the Big Boomers squad (with the 6 ft+ giant bass drum) ,then the drum major, then the band with the drum corps at the rear, then the bannerettes. We had a great band. I can still remember some of the great drum cadences they played. I was on the Big Boomer squad, but probably not seen in this photo as I was on the back corner, hidden by the drum. This is the band with the Big Boomer drum and squad in front. The drum always was pulled in the parades and at halftime at all home football games, we pulled it around the perimeter of the football field, beating to the time of the music as the band played the half time show. These girls are part of the Big Boomer squad. There were 5 of us; 2 to pull the drum, 2 to steady it on the back (against the wind), and one to beat the drum. I was one, but not pictured here. Don't recall the names of these three.
