    The album liner lists the Concert Band personnel for 1964-1965.

    The album liner has a narrative about the band, which reads as follows:

    "The Bands at Clarion remain an integral part of the campus atmosphere. Related directly to the Music Department, the personnel of the band is selected by audition from the student body each September. Being selected for the Band is a distinct recognition of outstanding personal and academic qualifications as well as musical ability. For the honor, as well as the valuable training and experience, membership in the band is one of the most eagerly sought campus activities by those who can qualify. The College Band starts the school year as the seventy piece Golden Eagle Marching Band. to prepare for its fall performances on the gridiron, the band meets three times weekly and on Saturday mornings of home games. Each year the band performs at all home games and several away games, and has participated in many parades and festivals. Soon after the close of the football season, the marching band is transformed into the Clarion State College Concert Band. Meeting three times weekly for a total of four and a half hours, the band members begin preparing for the annual Spring Concerts and Spring Tour. The band's extensive, varied, and flexible repertoire is selected from all periods and styles of composition and transcription, and is designed to meet a variety of program responsibilities. The Clarion State College Concert Band is a highly skilled ensemble of seventy-nine wind and percussion players. Of the seventy-nine, who come from 62 different communities, all but one have received their musical training in the public schools of the Commonwealth. While enhancing institutional spirit and character, the College Band is a serious and distinctive medium of musical expression, and is of vital service and importance to its members, its institution, and its art. The membership of the band consists of 26 students enrolled in the elementary education curriculum, 31 in the secondary education curriculum, 10 in the Library Science curriculum and 12 in the Liberal Arts curriculum. There is no music scholarship program or music major program in effect with regard to the College Bands; thus it is apparent that those who participate in the Marching and Concert Bands do so because of their willingness to give of their time and talents and for what the Band has to offer other than scholarship assistance or vocational preparation."
