Big Red band tuning
for its Pigskin Review
The Lamar University 300-piece Big
Red Marching Band, directed by Jim-
my Simmons and Wayne Dyess, will
present the third annual Pigskin
Review Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Mc-
Donald Gym. The concert will sum-
marize all of the events of the 1977
la mar marching season in one spec-
tacular show.
Featured will be the Big Red Band,
the Front Line twirlers, the feature
twirlers and the Cardinal Silks in a
variety of musical numbers. The
twirlers, headed by Mary Villarreal of
Nederland and Ella LaGrange of
Groves, will perform to the popular
tunes “Theme from Rocky” and “I’m
Your Boogie Man.”
Lamar’s flag corp, the Cardinal Silks,
led by Cindy Lu Corgey from Port
Neches and Vickie Monroe from
Beaumont, will perform to Stevie Won-
der’s big hit “Sir Duke” and to “Space
Shuttle.” Mary Bonnett, a two-year
feature twirler from Groves, will twirl
her two batons and hoops to the march
“Our United States.”
Lamar’s other sensational feature
twirler is Edward Bean from Kir-
by vi lie. His performances have left this
year’s crowds wild with cheering and
standing an amazement at his perfectly
executed acrobatic style while twirling
two batons. He will do his tricks at the
review to the popular “Barnum and
Baily" circus march.
Also featured in the review will be in-
dividual spirit sections from the band
playing various tunes arranged
especially for them. These songs, many
of which are arranged by marching
band students, are played at football
games by different sections in an effort
to show the most band spirit.
Included in this part of the review will
be “Cantina Band” from the
movie “Star Wars” by the clarinet sec-
tion, “Can-Can” by the tubas, Rule
Britainia” by the French Horns and
“Spain” by the percussion section.
The main attraction of the evening
will be an outer-space spectacular
featuring the band, flags and twirlers in
a special-effects light show. This show,
which was performed at the USL-
Lamar football game this year, drew a
tremendous ovation from the capacity
crowd on hand. It will feature special
lighting and sound effects as the band
and auxiliary units perform to “Star
Treck,” “Star Wars” and “Space Shut-
tle.”
Admission to the review is $2 for
adults and $1 for all students. Tickets
may be purchased at the door, from any
of the LU band students or at the
Lamar band office.
YMBL to donate

used by so many.”
YMBL prexy, Bruce Allred pointed
out that the bulk of the gift, $50,000, was
a mutually agreed on shift of funds
already committed to the university by
the YMBL. Allred said, “The YMBL
board donated $50,000 to Lamar in 1974
to build the proposed Cardinal Hall of
Honor. The university and the YMBL
considered several designs, but costs
were always too prohibitive to build and
appropriate structure.
“Over the past few months,” Allred
continued, “the university and the YM-
BL board considered incorporating the
Hall of Honor into several Lamar
buildings to be built or remodeled over
the next couple of years, but in the final
analysis, it seemed in the best interests
of the university, and the YMBL to
look at other immediate needs of
Lamar. After reviewing several alter-
natives, such as additional tennis
facilities and lighting for the baseball
field, we all agreed that the
recreational facility was the best and
most logical choice when need and
available funds were considered.”
The original commitment of $50,000
by the YMBL has been maintained in a
special joint account for the past four
years. “When the decision was reached
to switch to the Recreational Pavilion,”
Allred said, “the board voted to in-
crease the gift to an amount not to ex-
ceed $56,000 to cover the full anticipated
cost of the pavilion.”
Bids on the structure will be taken
over the next few days and construction
is expected to begin within the next 90
days. No target date has been set for
completion.
Dr. Kemble said the proposed Hall of
Honor to house the school's
Distinguished Alumnus Awards,
Athletic Hall of Honor inductees and
recognitions of patrons is still a viable
project and might well be incorporated
into one of several proposed new or
remodeled structures being considered
in Lamar’s long-range planning curren-
tly in process.
