The band took part in the annual Scottsbluff Band Day, Oct. 3, 1953. About 18 bands marched in the parade and took part in massed band concert before the Trinidad-Scottsbluff Jr. College football game. Ours was one of two Wyoming bands participating. We were treated to a wonderful free supper in the school cafeteria. The welcome we received was as warm as the weather was cold at the game. Our band also marched at the Torrington- Worland state play-off football game on Nov. 21, 1953. Before the game 7 Goshen County bands marched onto the field in formation and played Military Escort and Wyoming Fight Song directed by Mr. Noble, Torrington band director. The day was bitter cold but our group went warmly dressed. Marie Ritterling and Joyce Bay played clarinets in the Clinic Band in Torrington. Over 150 picked students from East Central Wyoming played in the massed band concert on Sat. night under the direction of Dr. Frank Baird of Greeley. Colorado. We played in the Christmas program, marched at one basketball game and hope to attend district festival in Wheatland in April. 31
