band of Florida A and M University to participate in.
the 1958 Orange Bowl parade and half-time show.....Baggs, who has long been one
of the band~s most enthusiatic
supporters, made the statement
in a column which appeared
in mid-December.:

He wrote in part: ~One year
ago, the A and M band scis

of Orange Stadium and for 30
minutes rendered 40, people
