THE 1964 ROY MILLER BUC BAND

The 1964 Battlin’ Buccaneer Band of the Buccaneers brought honor to Roy Miller’s Student Body by entering and excelling in their performances. They left the Region VII Interscholastic League Marching Contest with First Division ratings in marching and inspection. The Buc Band played for the State Principals Convention at the Driscoll Hotel. Miller High’s Band was also one the seven bands in the state invited to the “Battle of the Flowers”, the yearly pageant in San Antonio. Just several things that will always be with the Roy Miller Alumni.
