Prairie View Co-eds
The Prairie View Co-eds were an all female band that formed in the 1940s at the historically black Prairie View A&M University. The band formed in response to more and more males being drafted into the armed forces. The Prairie View Co-eds' success soon spread past the limits of their college campus though, and they were soon touring and traveling much of the year.
==Beginnings==
In the early 1940s, Prairie View College was one of the leading African American Colleges in the country, and one of the only four year public schools African Americans could attend in Texas. The band that dominated the campus was the Prairie View Collegians, an all male group the played gigs on campus as well as some touring. When she arrived at the school, the exceedingly skilled Bert Etta Davis auditioned for the Prairie View Collegians and was accepted by the band leader. An extremely talented alto saxophonist, Davis ended up being turned away from the band by the Dean of Women who found the concept of a woman playing in an all mens band too scandalous to allow.
By 1943 though, the times had changed. The Prairie View Collegians had lost many members to the draft, and lacked the numbers to continue making strong performances. Will Henry Bennett began to make a move to start an all female dance band, possibly in response to having seen The International Sweethearts of Rhythm. The band was a hodge-podge of talent its first year. The group did draw some talented players like Davis, but also recruited from people to whom playing was just an extracurricular activity. They also relied on music majors to fill spots and pick up new instruments that no one had been trained on. This group was not merely a collection of beginners though. While the original venues of the Co-eds was campus parties and events, it wasn't very long before they began to be invited off campus. With most mens orchestras having fallen to pieces, The Prairie View Co-eds filled a need. A chaperone followed the girls to the destinations they went to in order to make sure the higher reputation of these educated young women would not be sullied.
