Band Marches into an Eventful Year Altitude is an important part of a successful performance as shown by these band members. The Alliance High Marching Band was out on the field at 7:30 each morning last fall diligently preparing their routines. The band strutted their stuff” at the home football games and at the Homecoming parade. They also competed with other bands at the Sidney Octoberfest and at the Chadron Band Day where they received a trophy for their hard work and dedication. Helping the band to move to the beat were Majorettes Lisa Davis, Nolene Roten, and Susan Turgeon. They, along with band director Dick Rischling, worked hard leading the band through their routines. Practice makes perfect proves to be true when the band wins a trophy at Chadron State College Band Day. The flag girls added creativity and color to both marching band and pep band later in the year. They boosted the spirits of spectators and band members alike with their enthusiasm. During basketball and wrestling season the band also moved inside. The band played at many of the games and several times were accompanied by performances by the majorettes or the flag girls, who received many compliments. All in all, the band had a very successful year and played an important part in keeping the Bulldog spirit alive. Marching Band 15

With marching season over, the band settled down to more symphonic works. Mr. Dick Rischling, director, held chair auditions and those honored with first chairs were as follows: Rob Moyle, clarinet; Vesta Curtiss, flute; Lisa Davis, alto saxaphone; and Nancy Schnell, trumpet. Money-making projects included the annual magazine sales. This money went to the Music Parents to buy items needed by the music classes. Throughout the year, the band concentrated on perfecting notes and rhythm. They also added dynamics and accents to put feeling into their music. They showed off their practice and study at the Christmas and Spring Concerts, and the Fine Arts Festival and District Music Contest. This year's concert band gave Alliance High a chance to get an inside look at the world of music. Concert Band 17
