Johnson, Р. his year seemed like one of the busiest band members could recall. The band took their tir- annual sojourn. They decided to “го to Kansas City. | Юп the morning of April 27, they loaded themselves and their baggage nto four busses and departed. The rip was tiring, but once they got here, it was worth the long hours of avel and the time the musicians spent in the fall selling candy to inance the trip. The purpose of the hree day holiday was to give two concerts at Kansas City high schools, but the members squeezed in other things. All of them visited Worlds of Fun, The Truman Library, and the Kansas Kansas City Zoo. Some students visited a few of the other attractions; such as the Armco steel plant, the Nelson Art Gallery, and the Kansas City city hall. All enjoyed the trip, with Worlds of Fun apparently the favorite. Junior Reggie Harrington put it best. “Тһе trip was a good opportunity to see some other things, some other schools, and besides that it was a real blast! PLATLRS PERIOD Greve, K. Allen, P. Pady, M.

he band really rolled this Senior trombonist Jim Kolmer. year. The concert band was summed up the band’s feelings this credited by many with; (a) мау: Yes, we were busy; but I think being the best band ever, (b) there has to be more involvement in sounding like a college band, and (c) the band’s activities and concerts with recording so well on the Bicentennial the students. The band just doesn’t record that the recording artists get as much publicity as other considered using their recording as an activities ао.” example of “how to do it right.” The concert band and varsity bands ‘We Were busy’ were made up of individuals, and as in chemistry, these individuals arranged themselves in “independent structures” known as groups. These groups consisted of Pep Band, Stage BAnd 1 and 2, and Marching Band, as well as those students who prefered to work together in ensembles, or even hack it on their own as a soloist. But even though many said they were the best instrumental music department ever, the band didn’t rest much at all. In between their concerts | апа rehearsals, band memebers sold | candy bars, individually participated | in the All State Music Festival and State Music Contests, helped record and sell a Bicentennial record, and took a trip to Kansas City in late April.
