Seventy Bands Here Saturday
About 5,000 musicians from 70 Kansas and Missouri high schools will be at KU Saturday for Band Day.
Band Day Activities will begin at 9 a.m. with a parade of bands on Massachusetts street. The KU band will lead the procession.
After the parade, the bands will assemble at Memorial Stadium to rehearse for the half-time ceremonies of the Oklahoma State University-KU game.
When completed, the Perry Dam and Reservoir could become the most used recreational area in Kansas.
Perry Dam Ready Soon
And, the project to be located about four miles northwest of Perry on the Delaware River could be a great recreational mecca for KU students in the early fall and late spring months.
The dam will be about 15 miles from Lawrence. 25 from Topeka, 60 from Kansas City, 40 from Leavenworth, 60 from Atchison and within 80 miles of St. Joseph, Mo.
The population density surrounding Ferry is greater than for any other reservoir in the Kansas River Basin with over two-million persons residing within a hundred-mile radius of the project.
Russell Wiley, director of the KU band, and director of Band Day, said the number of high school musicians expected here this year is the maximum number which can be handled at KU.
He said there are many bands on a waiting list. If any band drops out of Band Day activities, a replacement will be chosen from this list.
The dam and reservoir will be four-fifths the size of Tuttle Creek, the project at Manhattan so handy for Kansas State University students.
The 70 bands will share the half-time ceremonies with the Oklahoma State marching band, and the crowning of the Senior Day Queen.
Col. Miles L. Wachendorf, district engineer of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City, speaking at Oskaloosa in July, said present plans call for two public use areas near the dam with others scheduled to be placed around the reservoir.
The Civil Rights Council will meet at 7 p.m. tonight in the Kansas Union.
CRC Forming Panel To Explore Projects
"Some additional areas will probably be set aside in the original land acquisition to be developed later, if necessary," Col. Wachendorf said. "We are working very closely with the Kansas State Park and Resources Authority and other interested agencies in our planning."
Members of the CRC will be appointed to committees to explore projects and ideas before the ideas are presented to the All Student Council.
Groups to be formed include an employment practices committee, seminar committee and fund raising committee.
