Field notes
The navigation separates six ensembles from five marching-band sections, including the Funk Phi Mob drumline, Blue Satin Dance Team, and UntouchaBulls Colorguard. The history area points to the Inez Moore Parker and Digital Smith archives, a photographic timeline, traditions, and a lineage of directors. A few counters in the extracted homepage display zero, even where the surrounding page lists program history and ensembles.
