Band Absorbs Eighth Grade Musicians Special auditions allowed talented eighth-graders to join A-band for the first time this year. Besides increasing the band’s size, it enabled them to be selected as an alternate to play at the Regional Basketball Tournament. Conducted by Mrs. Charolette Hedeen, the band marched at Hobo and Dakota Days. In addition to playing at ball games and pep rallies, the music department pre- sented several concerts, giving them a total of 17 performances. Due to a severe snowstorm, compet- ing students were unable to attend the Regional contest. Understanding the prob- lem, a judge traveled to Alcester, listened to the five soloists and six en- sembles, and awarded them very good ratings.
