Wildcat Marching Band ‘The 1978 University of Kentucky “Wildcat” March- jing Band numbers some 270 members from almost every college of the University. The members come from each geographical area of Kentucky and from the states of Ohio, New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, New Jersey and Indiana. Except for the two directors, the band is largely student run, with group leaders and a section leader for each instrument, a group of some twenty marching assistants, a head flag, head mojorette, a percussion head and coordinator, and on Executive Board of elected officers. The band began its rehearsals on August 20 with a ‘week of intensive practice of 9-10 hours per day, re- verting when school began to a one hour rehearsal each day at five o'clock, — PREGAME — The music for Pregame includes "People," “Another Opening, Another Show”” and one of the marches "Semper Fidelis” or ‘Band of America”, Pregame also includes the traditional Marching “’K" and “On, On, U of K”. — HALFTIME — The “Wildcat” Band draws from a variety of musical idioms for its opening show of the year. The entrance is Clifton William's “Fanfare and Allegro!’ from the ‘concert band literature. Chuck Mangione’s jazz-rock hit “Feels So Good’ and a concert number of Earth, Wind and Fire's, “Fantasy,” represent music in a more popular vein. The exit music, drawn from the orches- tral literature, is excerpts from the Scherzo and Finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. This particular show will also be performed next week at the UK vs. Mary- land game at College Park, Maryland. Bond Staff Director W.
