Congratulations to the Cavaliers and the Buccaneers on their win at the V.F.W. Nationals this year. I did not get to see this contest, but have heard that it was one of the best ever.

On the local scene, the Southernaire drum section has received their new drums. They are gold sparkle with a red stripe and go very well with their uniforms. Now there is talk of getting new uniforms.

As you know, pro football is now upon us and the "Southernaires" started off with a half-time show for 31,000 fans during the Houston "Oilers" and the Boston "Patriots" exhibition game at City Park Stadium. The crowd received them well from the time they came off the line with "Dixie" till they marched off the field playing "Mammy" for an exit.
