Performing Arts Department records, 1903-1990 (bulk 1960-1988)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/210158519

This series contains the records of the Performing Arts Department and the Clemson University Band. Included are brochures, charts, correspondence, information on performers, photographs, videocassettes, reel to reel recordings of musical performances by the Jazz Band and Symphonic Band, sheet music, and petition to the Board of Trustees of Clemson University for the establishment of the Performing Arts Department. The files span the time period 1970-1988. Within the files are official correspondence from 1961-1989; the years 1970-1987 contain general information about game itineraries and band schedules, and correspondence from high school seniors in various states throughout the county wanting to audition with the Clemson Tiger Band. Prominent correspondents are Bruce Cook and John Butler of the Music Department. Also included in the series are programs of annual band banquets, which were events held to recognize students who had excelled in band, from 1953-1990. Other programs are from performances of the Jazz Band, Clemson College Concert Band, and Symphonic Band, which performed at Clemson University in Tillman Hall and the Amphitheater. Other musical records include music charts for the marching band. The charts, or drill sheets as they are sometimes called, map out the routes to various places on the field by using different size steps and yard lines to help determine points on the field. When all the specific moves are coordinated, a formation is made which is seen by the fans watching the field.
