Re: Michigan Tech post season thread, hunting for hardware!
highlights of the 1981 NCAA Consolation game victory over NMU in Duluth
0:23 some of the band is wearing the original red striped bib overalls
2:28 the old car horn serenade that used to follow the fight song can be heard
Being a former band member, I can tell you that the car horns survived well into the 1990s, but not without the hard work of many EE students over the years. Also the red/white coveralls were specific to certain sections of the band. This also continued into the mid-1990s when then director Jeff Bell-Hanson finally was able to secure funds for the ENTIRE band to receive new back / gold coveralls with the Huskies Pep Band logo on the front pocket. Here are the section colors as I remember them:
Concussion (drumline) and (s)Trumpets - skinny stripe rainbow colors
(tu)BAs, woodwinds - Navy / gold wide stripe
(Trom)Bones - Red / white wide stripe
Once again AWESOME!!!! This stuff is invaluable to my research. I hope you don't mind if a grab some screen shots for my website down the road. Lots that I can learn from that video. Already one thing I picked out shown below. I thought there was a good chance that I had a gold jersey from this game. However when I saw the first screen shot I was a bit disappointed because the #28 uses a style of 2 with a diagonal element (not like an upside-down 5 with a horizontal center). However when I was trying to capture the screen shot, the video went about a second too far and #12 skates info view with a totally different style of 2 which matches my jersey. Further searching found me a #22 and finally #2 of the same style. Far too grainy to conclude anything 100% for sure, but certainly it is still a possibility it might be from that season.
