The preliminary round of
the selection process nar
rowed the number of candi
dates from 18 to nine.
In the final round, candi
dates led the band in the Band
Hall and on the drill field.
A selections committee v >
consisting of the current
drum majors and represen
tatives from the individual
classes in the band judged
the final candidates.
The finalists were
judged for baton (mace) control, whistle
accuracy, stride (foot) placement, music
beat and uniform march. Candidates also
were judged on their ability to communi
cate instructions to the band.
Maj. Jay O. Brewer, associate director of
the Aggie Band, said the drum majors cho
sen will lead next year’s expected 450-
member band well.
“You have to have someone the band will
listen to,” he said. “They have to work well with
directors and commanders.”
Brewer added that Fugitt, Fluff and Sullivan
are all well-qualified, with a 3.0 or higher grade
point ratio.
“Fugitt will do an excellent job,” he said.
“He is a hard worker and very much involved.”

Festival
Continued from Page 1
Face-painting, bead-selling, sports activities and
sidewalk chalk drawings are among the activities of
fered to Whoopstock participants. Over 50 campus or
ganizations will attend, and 13 concession stands will
be set up.
Going said the biggest problem Whoopstock or
ganizers encounter each year is the time limitations
on the event.
“It’s too attractive of an event and we only have
six hours,” Going said. “It’s hard to pack in every
thing that we want and everything that everybody
else wants.”
Collymore said there are misconceptions about
Whoopstock’s intentions.
“Black people think it’s a white thing and white
people think it’s a black thing,” Collymore said.
Collymore said African-Americans probably as
sociate Whoopstock with images of Woodstock,
while whites think the event is geared toward mi
norities because it is coordinated through the De
partment of Multicultural Services.
“Everyone is wrong,” Collymore said. “It’s basi
cally for everybody, because when it started, every
one was a part of it.”
At the first Whoopstock festival, such campus
organizations as the Corps of Cadets, the yell lead-
“No one will feel left out at this
festival. No one will feel like a
minority.”
Karen Collymore
chair of Whoopstock committee
mm
ers, the College Republicans, Aggie Democrats, the
Greek community and Student Government
helped make preparations.
Collymore said the Department of Multicultural
Services did not put on the first Whoopstock just for
minorities. She said it was a joint effort on thepi
of many people.
“The other people who were involved,liket
Corps of Cadets, did not just put this on forati
tain segment of the student population," Col
more said.
Collymore said a person should not feellikeai
nority, because there will be something for everjboc
