The band's finger snapping, foot tapping rhythms excite, rather than soothe, even the most serious student. Being a musician is not just a fun thing. Each morning from 8:00 until 10:00, drummers and flutists illustrate the adage, practice makes perfect. Besides executing much musical skill, other goals of the bandls sixty-two members were raising money for new uniforms, equaling Chattanooga Riverside's halftime show, and being invited to the Dogwood Arts Festival band contest. Gaining practice for this contest, the band performed at assemblies and parades. The sounds pouring from Room 134, although occasionally dissonant, are proof that even the obstacles of combining two bands, lacking a director until the last minute, and having a uniform shortage can be overcome by determination and cooperation.
