By the 1960’s, the college campus revival of Dixieland was over. Popular music had moved-on to Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues. During this period rock bands tended to be the most common entertainment at the Prospect Street house parties.
The Prospective Sound was formed in 1967 by William R. Hershey '70. He drafted members of the University Orchestra, Triangle Club, and a contemporaneous rock-n-roll band known as Occam's Razor. The Prospective Sound had a big-band instrument line-up. The name “PROSPECT…ive” derives from Prospect Street. Prospect Street runs to the North of the Princeton Campus and is the location of the Princeton Eating Clubs. The Princeton Eating Clubs are a reliable market for student bands to perform on football weekends and house parties.
Prospective Sound performance activity level peaked in 1969 and 1970. The band ceased operations after William Hershey graduated.
