Every day Mr. King would pull out his whip and chair and teach us the art of music. Over and over and over he drilled us until we all knew our 80 PERFORMING ARTS: Concert Band part by heart. Then he would pull out the polishing cloth. We would refine and perfect our skills. Mr. King was careful to make sure that we weren't slacking off or being lazy. The practice was needed so that we could be our best for the con- certs. As always, the Concert Band played in both the Winter and Spring concerts.
