UnivOfAkronBand1981

Ohio's Pride.  The 1981 edition of The University of Akron Marching Band, shaped in the images of the late Richard J. Jackoboice, Director of Bands, and James J. Romeo, Assistant Director of Bands.  The essence of TEAM without the letter I anywhere to be found.  At a time when Swing style marching bands still held their ground separate from Military style, Corps style, or Scramble style, with a drum major, majorettes, and a complete and powerful music ensemble without a flag corps, a pit and visual set pieces.  Living in the year when the IBM PC was introduced in the United States.  Before digital cell phones.  Before computer-generated images and Wikipedia.  When pride still mattered.
