Yep! I remember new shows for every home game. We also got to practice
marching band during school class periods.
I currently work with a one show band (the one that made national news
by getting in trouble with the NAACP for playing "Dixie" and using
stylized "confederate" flags in our field show - Civil War Suite).
Anyhow, we do one show, adding to it until the very last performance.
All this is done evenings and weekends and we share our players with many
fall sports teams. It's a different game now than it was 35 years ago -
our football playing band members march the halftime show in their
football uniforms but have our uniforms for the competitions and
festivals. That wouldn't have happened in my high school in the 60's .
