Color Guard 1965 |
| Along with traditional sports, debating and band competitions,
color guard activities have become an increasing more important
element at Aquinas. Now in its third year of competition, the Aquinas Guard is pointing for both state and national titles during the summer months. During the winter season the seventeen-man Guard participated in contests throughout New York State and Canada. Currently its record shows five first place trophies and a third place win. The latter was won in a state invitational contest with two members of the Aquinas Guard ill. Morale, spirit de corps and a sense of accomplishment are perhaps intangible bit more important products of the Guard rivalry than the trophies and accolades which soon find there way to the bottom of dusty bureau drawers. Exhibiting drive, poise and plenty of color, the championship Aquinas Color Guard is a welcome addition to the Aquinas scene. |

Band 1965 |
| The Aquinas Institute Marching Band, holder of a score of
honors and awards, has grown overt the past thirty years to
a superbly trained organization capable of dealing with the
most difficult symphonic works as well as stirring marches.
In state and national competitions, the band consistently has
brought credit to the school. Although most of the marching music of the band is arranged by its director, Rev, Cyril R Udall, C.S.B., it is not unusual for the band to perform arrangements by band members. Often called upon to perform at civic functions, football games and band competitions, the Aquinas Marching Band presents an exciting show. From the first fanfare that sends ceremonial chords cascading from their furnished horns, the red, white and black uniformed musicians keep their audiences enthralled. To make their performance look as splendid as it sounds, the bandsmen march and countermarch, wheel and turn in fluid patterns in spectacular fashion. |
