This is almost certainly a group learning a routine for majorette try-outs. The band never had that many majorettes as part of the band. (my memory is a little fuzzy, but a check of yearbooks from that time will show a maximum of about 12) During my 4 years in the band, 1957 - 1961 we had a drum major, as well. In '57, it was Bob Ellwanger, a tuba major who went on to teach high school band in Virginia. I taught in the same geographical area. From '58 through '61 Jim (Scooby) Burns was the drum major. He was a trumpet major and played lead trumpet in the Collegians, and jazz oriented dance band. At home coming, even now, the Collegian alumni get together and perform.
