Although the Harvard Band is better known for its musical ability and quick wit, the HUB has never been ashamed of its ability to form amusing, reocognizable formations on the field with an absolute minimum of rehearsal.
 

	One of the band's famous bow and arrow moves. Perhaps someone can date this photo from the crimson prop crew uniforms?.
	The cannon formation at the 75th reunion.  As we played the "1812 Overture", hydrogen balloons were used to simulate cannon blasts.  Small "cannon balls" of woodwind players ran out of the end of the cannon to spell "MOM" (she had died the previous fall).
	An Indian with pipe formation from the late 1940's.  Probably for a Dartmouth football game.
	This is either a pilgrim or John Harvard, again probably from the late 1940's.  Note how they have used the two bass drums for eyes and then Bertha, the big drum, for a nose.
	A lovely script lower-case "y" for the yalies that also displays as an "H" for the Harvard side of the Bowl.
