Penn State celebrates Senior Day

University Park, Pa. -- Saturday, Nov. 14, was a day for tributes and honors at Penn State, as the football team and the Blue Band marked Senior Day. During the pregame Tailgreat at the Bryce Jordan Center, Blue Band Director O. Richard Bundy joined the trombone section for their feature, playing a new Yamaha trombone that the company presented to him in recognition of his 30 years of service to the Blue Band. The honors continued at Tailgreat, as Blue Sapphire PJ Maierhofer was presented with the USA and World Twirling Championships trophy. The fifth-year senior earned the trophy and the title of College Miss Majorette of America during the championships, held at Notre Dame in July. On the field, football seniors defeated Indiana 31-20 in their last home game of their college careers. For photos, visit http://live.psu.edu/stilllife/2183 online.
