The Palmyra High School Varsity Band Cbandj, n. a company of performers on musical instruments, especially wind and percussion instruments. The shouting crowd, the football players, the cheerleaders-all part of the game. Yet something is missing. This ingredient, the unifying factor for school spirit, is the band, performing its fight song, the Alma Mater, and other traditional favorites. At half time, they stream onto the field, doing the well executed routines of a practiced marching band. This is what the audience sees. They don't see, however, the long hard hours of practice, both in the band room and on the field. Tears, agony, and frustration all occur before the show. After the game, the final release from tension slowly comes, only to build up once more before next week's performance. Football season over, the band began to practice for the annual Spring Concert, At this performance, Mr. McHenry conducted the band's demonstration of its concert ability, thrilling the audience with selections from Tchaikovksy, Sousa, and Mary Pop- pins. Once the concert was finished, the band again began practicing its marching. Sea- soned by a trip to Canada, the band was asked to play at the New York World's Fair. Here they performed in their usual brilliant style, justifying the pride Palmyra has in the Varsity Marching Band.
