Hail Purdue

This was John’s first book chronicling the history of the Purdue bands. Purdue’s “All-American” Marching Band is known as one of the largest in the country, even though Purdue does not have a School of Music. It boasts the “World’s Largest Drum” and a famed twirling line featuring the Purdue Golden Girl.
