Hard Work + Drive = Improved Band Marching Green and Gold members were extremely active this year. After a week of band camp they marched in the Parade of the Hills. Other activities included: three marching band contests, Hal- loween and Christmas parades, and halftime shows at football games. The Concert Band received a II rating in the District Ohio Music Education Contest, making them eligible to go to state com- petition, where they received a III. Between contests they per- formed two concerts. Many members entered the solo and ensem- ble contest, most receiving an excellent rating.
