Band History Site Notes Sights & Sounds

• footage:
  • some way to indicate footage is cross-listed between multiple filters e.g. reel 130815-2-10 shows up under both the “band day” and “card section” filters
  • apply multiple filters simultaneously [ I implemented this at first but often combinations of filters turned up no results and it seemed confusing for the user...if we end up with more footage this would probably be a good idea ]
  • sometimes when adjusting the timestamp of a video the slider jumps ahead, nothing more than visual issue, this was especially true of reel 130815-2-14, “Drill, women in band”, would jump to -0:14
  • I would like there to be specific dates associated with each piece of footage if possible, and for footage to be arranged
    chronologically footage is arranged according to reel number ~- reel 130815-2-08, “Army game halftime show: United States, shield”, the description of the reel says it is from the Rose Bowl, but the description says Army game. There was no Husker v Army game
    in 1941 asfaik~
  • why is there a ‘?’ in the title of reel 130815-2-12: “1955?”? [ unknown / unclear date ]

Timeline
~- the first heading is cut off
~ [ @karindalziel is working on a fix ]

• no image for “Women Join the Band” or “March of the
  Cornhuskers Documentary” [this is expected, no image at the moment unfortunately]

• ~typo under “The Cadet Band” 1979 should be changed to 1879~

• I’d specify that Big Bertha is a 5 ft-diameter bass drum under “‘Big Bertha Joins the Band”

• ~“So it was that a The Daily Nebraskan article on December 15th, 1940, put to rest days of wondering whether band members would be traveling to The Rose Bowl.” This sentence under “The Rose Bowl” is confusing~

Stories

• Don Lentz Interview:
  • I think the page could lie improved if the “Links to Topics” section at the top of the page were instead a sidebar that remained in a fixed location, unchanged by scrolling. This would make page navigation much quicker if the user wants to jump from topic to topic
  • same can be said for the page about Rose and the “About” page

Thanks for your work and thoughts, @zachj9 ! I'll make issues about some of these specific feature requests to consider for the next wave of updates to the site, and fix the typos you found!

Alas, I didn't write the reel descriptions, as they were taken verbatim from whatever was written on the film canisters decades ago. I'm guessing that by "army show" in 1941 it actually means the armed forces themed halftime show, because typically the band performs one show a year that is an armed forces tribute, with patriotic selections and the force theme song. I will update the clip description to indicate that more clearly.
