You've come a long way band from 1963 and 15 members to 1978 with a grand total of 70 members. With hope they will reach their goal of 100 to 120 members in 1979. Not only more members but facilities have and are changing. In 1979 there will be a big new band room. costing over S200,000 plus colorful new band uniforms. The band room is just getting too small for both members and all of the equipment, said Mr. Eugene Anderson, band director. Mr. Anderson has designed the struc- ture for the building. This facility will include a library, director's office, instru- ment storage room instrument repair room, and a uniform storage room. mak- ing a total of five rooms some of which will be sound proof for individual prac- tices. Officers of this organization are Presi- dent Sally Roberts, Vice President Janet Bennett, Secretary Robin Roberts, Senior representative John Taraborelli, Junior representative Keith Petticrew, Sopho- more representative Sally Bennett, and Freshman representative Kim Diulus. Mr. Anderson has been a band director for four years. He plays every instrument to an extent, but he specializes in brass and percussion. But all in all the band students enjoy music, the trips, the awards, and working together as a group, said Mr. Anderson. lj BAND TEACHES A person patience and increases your perseverance to achieve your goals. lt also gives a person a chance to gain more confidence in themselves.
