Great footage! I could even hear the vintage sound of the movie projector's reels in the background. The young woman doing the neck rolls and somersaulting at the 6/12-6/22 mark must have been the captain of the feature twirlers, back then. If not, she should have been! Just one thing, though. l thought UFLA's colors were blue-and-red. The outfits worn by both the feature twirlers and the other majorettes, in the half-time clips, were anything but!
