Presidential Report
By Jerry Cole
DCN July 11, 1962

The PRESIDENTS of Greenville, Tenn., will enter field competition on July 14th at Jacksonville, Fla.

The PRESIDENTS, this year, will field 27 horns, 9 drums and a color guard of 10 girls, and our returning major, Mr. Van Lindsey.

Keeping most of last year's music, to go with a new drill, we will play "The Theme from Samson and Delilah", "Battle Cry for Freedom", "The Little Bill Mambo", "Phantom Regiment", "Some of These Days", "Mambo Caribe", and close with "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor". Concert will be "Caribbean Fantasy".

The instructing staff this year consists of Mr. Jim Hope, Quartermaster; Mr. Hervie Hartman, Post Commander; Mr. John Van Tassell, Drill Instructor; and Jerry Cole, Director.

The Drum Major is Mr. Van Lindsey, and the Guard Sargent will be Miss Alice Walker.

We are looking forward to a very successful season with our eyes set on several Northern contests, as well as the V.F.W. Nationals in Minn.

On the human side, I find many of our boys sending and receiving mail from girls in corps all over the country. Sometimes I wonder if we're going to lose some of them from the ranks of the Bachelors -

We'll all be looking forward to seeing you all come National time.
