The Military band of this year is again one of the best bands in the West. Furnishing music for military parades. athletic contests, and at the graduation ceremonies, the band has become an important factor on the campus. For fifteen years, Bandmaster Bernt Neilsen, retired army band leader, has developed and directed Idaho bands to leadership in the field of military music. Another feature of the cadet band is the annual band concert given in the university auditorium, in which militant and classical music is played. The band is made up of approximately fifty-five pieces, and its members are for the most part freshmen and sophomores. Underclassmen may choose military band in preference to basic drill if they have the necessary qualifications. Stanley Jepsen was chosen for the entire year as the Cadet Drum Major.
