Jackets Reward Dedicated Band Members Directed by Mr. Kdgar Niedens, the band practiced straight through the summer to develop expertise and excellence. Starting the year with this background of work, the St. Ignatius Band reaped success and satisfaction in its marching season and on its concert circuit. Halftimes at the football games enjoyed a polished sophistication and zest which the sixty-one members exhibited through a combination of new concert formations and popular hit tunes. The concert season was no less entertaining as the band performed to capacity audiences at its Christmas and Spring Concerts. Closing their season, the band played at a nearby girls’ high school. These many hours of work which are consistently put in by each member are oftentimes overlooked. However, this year the band initiated a Varsity Awards Program to give recognition to particularly hard-working and excelling band members. The eight members who qualified were given Varsity Awards jackets which were different than the athletic varsity jackets. This new award aptly reflects the perseverance and musicianship of the St. Ignatius Band. 84
