Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Marching Mizzou was founded in 1885, originally as a military-styled band with its membership drawn from the school's old Corps of Cadets. The band made only one appearance that season, at a football game against Kansas, and was so well received by the assembled students and alumni that they were asked back to the next season's football games. The Corps obliged, and the band over doubled in numbers by 1886. As the bands' renown grew on campus, so did its numbers, no doubt helped by the eventual opening of the band to the entire university following the dissolution of the Corps of Cadets in the 1930s. During this time, the Golden Girls were created, as the band director at the time wished to include a baton-twirling troupe to augment the band's performances. They remained twirlers until 1968, when during a halftime performance they threw their batons up en masse, let them drop to the turf and began to dance. Since then, they have become one of the nation's most successful college dance teams.
