Spring brought challenging contests in Everett, Washington and also one at Mt. Hood Community College, where the choir was iudged in the areas of tone, balance, and song selection.

Strenuous Practices Pa Off for Chieftain Band Columbia River's Chieftain Band, directed by Mr. Adair Hilligoss, had an exciting year as they began marching at all home football games. They are the only band in the Southwest Washington League that prepares and performs pre-games and half-time shows for all home games. During foot- ball season they had the opportunity to go to the University of Washing- ton for Band Day. There they practiced with other outstanding bands from the state of Washington for a University game. Besides marching for games they performed in four concerts which were: Fall, Christmas, Guest Artist, and the Spring Concert. In February, the band participated in the annual Lower Columbia River Music Educators Association Contest, where they did a fine job. Later in the year they had an opportunity to play for the Oregon Lions Club. The Chieftain Band was kept busy earning money to purchase new uni- forms. They had candy sales, sold Steeringer tickets, performed at McDonalds Drive-In, who donated 50' of their dayis profit to the band fund and received many donations from various organizations and individ- ual families. Andy Lamke was honored by the band this year when he was elected president of the band. McDonalds All-American Band selected Andy to perform with them in the New York Macyis Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. Later in the year he was also selected for the All Northwest Band.
