Appalettes Practice, 1975

This image shows two members of the Appalettes standing in costume at Conrad Stadium, built 1962, at Appalachian State University (1967-current) during a practice session in 1975. 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.
