Students work for months planning floats
By NICOLE ROSER
[email protected]
The IUP Homecoming parade just
wouldn’t be the same without the elaborate
floats that stroll down the parade route each
year.
Every homecoming, thousands are amazed
by the floats, but do not realize the time, effort and money that has been put into making them.
Beginning in April, students and staff begin
planning for the parade and thinking about
float themes for the parade in October, according to Richard Kutz, vice president for
student affairs and a parade chairman.
He said themes are then voted on and determined after considering how the theme
will represent the university, and if it will be
possible to construct floats based on the
theme.
“A lot of themes revolve around cartoons,
board games or video games,” Kutz said. “We
try to think about what is manageable and
what will look good.”
After months of preparation, the students
finally begin building their floats, approximately two weeks before the homecoming
festivities.
In addition to many hours spent on the
construction of the float, he said participants
do not receive financial support for the materials from the university, leaving them to
pay for the cost by using their own membership funds.
Once they are finished, floats are judged
and prizes are awarded to the top ones.
Although many floats are created by students involved in Greek organizations, he
said all student organizations are invited to
participate.
“This is a great opportunity that gets the
students involved with the community,” Kutz
said.
“Specifically, it helps to make a family-orientated event.”
THE FLOAT above placed fifth
in the 2010 Homecoming Parade.

recently met to finalize plans
for the 2011 parade floats.

Indiana Gazette IUP Homecoming Supplement, Thursday, September 29, 2011 — 7
Students making
music throughout
the weekend
By HEATHER BLAKE
[email protected]
With homecoming only a few
days away, many might be thinking more about the football game
and the grandeur of the floats in
the parade.
But what about the bands?
Each year at homecoming, hundreds if not thousands of current
students, faculty and staff, parents
and alumni are entertained by the
sounds of the IUP marching band
during the parade and football
game, and by the traditional
homecoming concert performed
by the concert and symphony
bands and the wind ensemble that
closes out the excitement of
Homecoming weekend on Sunday.
More than 300 students from the
university “will be making music”
homecoming weekend, more than
200 of which are music majors, according to Jack Stamp, music department chairman and director
of band studies.
The marching band is “the first of
all the majors” to be assessed earlier than anyone else, Stamp said.
“They have to put a show on before any professor gives a test,” he
said. “They’ve always had to do
that. Sometimes a game has been
the weekend before school started.
The band has to be ready before
school starts at all.” The marching
band holds its band camp approximately 10 days before the first day
of classes, practicing from early in
the morning until late in the
evening to be completely ready for
the first football game of the season.
The performances, according to
Marching Band Director David
Martynuik, don’t revolve around
the homecoming theme of that
particular year.
“It varies from year to year,” he
said. “Sometimes students will
suggest ideas, but I go with whatever catches my fancy.”
This year, he said, the marching
band is performing a Latin show
with traditional Latin music and a
piece by American jazz guitarist
and composer Pat Metheny, according to Stamp.
The traditional pieces are all
arranged by IUP alumnus Anthony
O’Toole, Stamp said.
The band will play more of the
“traditional IUP standards,” such
as “Hail Indiana,” during the
homecoming parade, Martynuik
said. The school songs and alma
mater are performed during pregame as well, according to Stamp,
and the main show will be performed at both half-time and postgame, “concluding with a performance of ‘Amazing Grace’ with all
marching band alumni in attendance assembled with them on the
field.”
Stamp said the homecoming
concert, which is the first of the
season for the ensemble bands, is
the same with not following the
theme of the weekend. It’s one of

THE IUP MARCHING Band played during the 2010 homecoming game.
the few concerts where all three
ensemble bands will perform together, and the music selection is
based more on the students’ education than on homecoming.
“It’s basically so you can see
every instrumentalist, or every
wind and percussion player, in the
department. It’s the first concert so
we get everybody playing,” he said.
“… I won’t perform our heaviest
esoteric program for this concert.
“The bands are part of their curriculum as music and music education students,” he added, “so the
music that’s selected is geared toward their education. But I make
sure that it’s palatable to the audience for homecoming, since that’s
going to be more of a generic audience.”
Some of the pieces featured in
this year’s concert include “Folksong Suite” by Vaughan Williams,
“Symphony No. 6” by Vincent Persichetti and “Dancing Day” by
James Colonna, who originally is
from Punxsutawney.
Stamp added that a lot of the students that are in the ensemble
bands are also in the marching
band.
“If their parents come up to the
homecoming game, they can stay
over and see (their kids) play in
their indoor band, so some of this
is also for the parents as well — to
see their sons and daughters perform outdoors and indoors.”
The tradition of having the
homecoming concert the day after
the football game started approximately 15 years ago, Stamp said.
“The idea was to get alumni —
especially music alumni — to stay
Sunday and hear the indoor band
that they were probably a part of
too at one time,” he said.
The homecoming concert, directed by Stamp and music professor Jason Worzbyt, will take place
from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at Fisher
Auditorium in the Performing Arts
Center. Tickets are on sale at the
HUB Ticket Office: $9 regular admission, $8 discounted and $6 for
I-card holders.
BANDS IN THE PARADE
Several marching bands will participate in the homecoming parade, representing these schools:
Homer-Center High School, IUP,
Indiana Area Senior High School,
Marion Center High School, Purchase Line High School and Saltsburg High School.
After the parade, during Pregame
in the Oak Grove, there will be
music by marching bands from the
parade and music by a disc jockey.

Former IUP homecoming queen
returning as a parade marshal
IUP News Service
There are many long-standing IUP
Homecoming parade traditions: the
ROTC cannon to start the parade; colorful floats reflecting each year’s theme;
marching bands; and classic cars with
Indiana and university dignitaries.
This year’s parade continues an 11year tradition added in 1999: parade
grand marshals representing the 50-year
reunion class.
“The Homecoming Parade is one of the
central activities of the weekend and is
one that truly brings community and
university together,” said Mary Morgan,
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
Alumni Affairs associate director.

marshals as a way to honor our alumni
and to showcase the long-standing and
consistent support that our alumni have
for their alma mater.
“It is impressive to see that 50 years or
more after graduation, our alumni want
to return to IUP and are proud to be part
of the homecoming festivities.”
This year’s parade marshals are Betty Jo
Madden Carter, of Glenshaw; Don Ficco,
of Johnstown; and Marjorie Turley Nelson, originally of Indiana and now of
Youngwood; all members of IUP’s class
of 1961.
Carter, a retired elementary school
teacher is the mother of two sons.
She was IUP’s 1960 Homecoming
queen.
Ficco, who retired from his work at GP
Utilities, was a class officer during his
time at IUP and was a member of the
TKE fraternity.
Nelson retired from her work in the
Hempfield Area public schools in 1994
and then taught at Seton Hill University.
She has traveled extensively with IUP
friends and family, and she also completed post-graduate education.
The parade marshal tradition started in
1999 with two members of the class of
1949, both of Indiana: Sam Furgiuele and
the late Bob Warren.
Both men are retired faculty from IUP
and achieved the rank of faculty emeritus.
Furgiuele served on the IUP Alumni
Board, as president, and on the Foundation for IUP Board of Directors.
