Remember the Linfield College Marching Band?

Did the Linfield College Marching Band perform at halftime of Linfield home football games? 

These wonderful photos (circa 1935-1936) are from Linfield Archives & Special Collections. One photo shows band's drum major posing at attention.

Other photo shows the band practicing on the quad while being led by the drum major (on the far right, out of the photo). This practicing photo was taken with the Observatory, Grover and Failing Halls in the background. Note that the Observatory is now in a different campus location.













Both photos cropped by Wildcatville.

Linfield Archives & Special Collections "collects, protects and promotes materials which document the history of the college and regional community, including American Baptist history, Oregon wine history and collections featuring Linfield's faculty, students, staff and alumni." More info here.
