Blast From The Past!


Recognise anyone? 
 
Tom Neuenschwander sent us this photo of the 1968 Norwell Marching Band.  He advises the photo was taken the day before the present Norwell High School building officially opened its doors in the fall of 1968.   
 
The band was under the direction of the late Gary Link. It won many first places in the fall 1968 competitions, including the Bluffton Street Fair Band Contest.
 
Leading the band were Drum Major Duane Smith and Head twirlet Cheryl (Hiday) Martz, and behind them were seven Herald Trumpets. 
 
Tom advises that when the band started playing at the Bluffton Regional Center, it could be heard out at Dustman Road. 
 
Thanks to Tom for the photo and information.
