One so we could perform towards our fans and two to keep us from having to go near their locker rooms or the home stands. Their band did the same.
Not saying this as a justification or a boast, just stating what happened back then. Having been to more than a few HS football over the last two years, things have very much gone towards HS bands not traveling.

Well, that is interesting. Growing up where it never happened (small town Iowa), for me in the 60's and 70's, and my kids in the 90's and 00's, it never occurred to me that any bands went to road games.
