Successful Band Travels The success of the band was attrib- uted more to the individuals that made it up than to a single leader. The direc- tors spread the responsibilities throughout the band and gave every- one a chance to voice his or her opin- ion. It was up to the seven section leaders to call any special rehearsals and to drill their sections if needed. The overall program was led by Drum Ma- jors Tony Bolstad and Jeff Gomes and by Student Director Dave Kory. The two main events of the marching band this year were a trip to San Fran- cisco in February and participating in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena on January 1. After competing with nearly 100 statewide bands, Edison ' s band and banners were chosen to represent Or- ange County in the Rose Parade. Sev- eral practices were held during Christ- mas vacation to prepare the band for the 5 Vi mile long parade, which was covered by local, national, and interna- tional television. When in San Francisco, the band performed in the Chinese New Year ' s Day Parade, and then spent two days enjoying the wilderness of Yosemite National Park. The students spent most of their first semester raising money for the trips and planning their activities. The year was summarized when band director Gary McJilton admitted, I anticipated a good band and a good year, but it all turned out better than I had ever expected!
