IUP Marching Band 1988-89 Preview & Pep Rally playing Cherokee.....

IUP Marching Band 1988-89 Preview & Pep Rally.
From the Robert Nurss Family Video Archives.
This clip shows 'Cherokee' with the IUP Majorettes, Band Front/Color Guard and IUP Cheerleaders.
The context of this recording was the first public performance, takes place in the Oak Grove and is the first day of student's arrival on campus. Of course the band has been on campus for several days already ~ but the rally was to welcome new students. Throughout the beginning of the rally band members were being called by the school's PR dept for photos, we were being grouped by region (news paper regions) the pictures were sent to the students respective home town newspaper for publishing. This was also the first appearance in uniform (we were probably fitted earlier in that day).
