Marching Chiefs
The Marching Chiefs, 142 young men and
and women of La Crosse State University, are
under the direction of Ralph Wahl. The Drum
Major is Gorden Nelson and the featured twirler
is Pam Albrecht.
The Marching Chiefs brought considerable
attention to the school and the city through its appearances
at various functions throughout the
state. This year the Marching Chiefs appeared at
the Baltimore Colt-Chicago Bear professional
football game in Chicago and also at the Minnesota
Viking-Green Bay Packer professional football
game in Green Bay. The band also performed
a half-time show at Whitewater when the La
Crosse Indians met the Whitewater Warhawks.
A marching exhibition was given at Fond du Lac,
based on the theme "Building a Band".
Long hours of intense practice and drill are the
elements which make this years Marching Chiefs
outstanding. For each minute of performance the
members of the band practice and drill about one
hour. During the football season you will always
find the band practicing on the University parking
lot.
Although the football season may end the musical
and performing activities of the band are
just beginning.
