    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School ORAL HISTORIES OF WOMEN INSTRUMENTALISTS IN COLLEGE MARCHING BANDS POST-TITLE IX A Dissertation in Music Education by Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson © 2021 Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2021 ii The dissertation of Michquelena Potlunas Ferguson was reviewed and approved by the following: Linda C. Thornton Professor of Music Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Graduate Program Chair for Music Education Darrin H. Thornton Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Outreach Teaching Professor of Music Charles D. Youmans Professor of Musicology Jaime Schultz Professor of Kinesiology iii ABSTRACT Title IX of the Educational Amendments Act was passed in 1972. This legislation prohibited discrimination on the basis of gender in publicly funded educational institutions, including all colleges and universities in the United States. In the public arena, Title IX has become synonymous with the fight for equality for women in sport; however, its positive effects for equality for women were farther reaching. Women in higher education gained unprecedented access to academic and social circles on college campuses. The rights granted by Title IX to women that permitted participation alongside men in college marching bands in the 1970s is an area that has virtually been absent from the research. The purpose of this study was to investigate and record the experiences of the first women instrumentalists to participate in collegiate marching bands in the post- Title IX era. I drew on a subject-oriented oral history methodology with a historical basis in the second wave feminist moment.

  • Rose Bowl Speeches Warren Pearce, WJR: December 29, 1989 Playing USC Is Always Something Special
    Rose Bowl Speeches Warren Pearce, WJR: December 29, 1989 Playing USC is always something special... USC really plays much the same role as a leader of private higher education that we hope the U of M does in public higher education. USC is a great, comprehensive university... ...with a strong tradition of leadership in both academics and athletics. I can remember back a year ago, on January 2nd, when Jim Zumberge and I met in the locker room tunnel under the Rose Bowl and agreed to a rematch. Kiwanis Kickoff Luncheon: December 29, 1989 Introduction As Casey Stengel said, “It seems like deja vu...all over again.” Here Michigan is back in Pasadena once again for New Year’s Day... And it feels great!!! The warm sunshine in our faces... ...the solid feel of the ground beneath our feet... ...the thrill of driving on Los Angeles freeways... Looking forward with great excitement to facing USC--one of the great programs in intercollegiate athletics--in the Rose Bowl-- the premier sporting event in America Only one big difference from last year... ...this year we’ve have to replace our usual cheer of “GO BLUE!” ...with a new cheer...”GLUE BO”... ...to keep from a “BO GO”... that is to convince Bo Schembechler that there is indeed life at Michigan after coaching... ...and that being AD can still be fun... ...despite the antics of the Big Ten presidents!!! Speaking of presidents, I think back to a moment last January 2nd, when Jim Zumberge and I met in the locker room tunnel following the Rose Bowl game and made a pact..
