Title

Appalettes Performance, 1968, photo 3

Description

This image shows the Appalettes of Appalachian State University (1967-current) performing in Broome-Kirk Gymnasium, in February 1968. They can be seen standing on one foot in two rows. Formerly known as the Mountaineer Marching Team, the Appalettes began as a drill team directed by Appalachian High School Band leader Perry Watson, and comprised of women college students. They reformed in 1966 as a precision dance group, and performed dance routines in parades, pep rallies, and other campus events.
