Onward to Fame T he Guiness Book of World Records might be interested in Madison High's Marching Band. On a trip to a Disneyland competition last fall they were able to cram nine students into an Aztec bus bathroom. Folks who are awed by this may wonder what else the Marching Band has accomplished. One look at our trophies should answer this question, stated one of the marchers. The awards won this year alone equal those of several previous years put together. When one considers that the band director is new this year and the drum major is the youngest in Madison's history, this is worth noting. All the band members really stick by each other, says Jim Lee, the drum major, and our adjustment to Mr. A. (as members call Mr. Artemez) has been incredible. Jim can't speak highly enough about the friends who jokingly dumped him in a trash can at Disneyland. We work a lot, sure, he says, you have to; but it's enough fun for me, anyway, to almost make me wish I wasn't graduating early. It appears most band members are in complete agreement. 150 Marching Band

I t's great having 68 members in Concert Band ' commented Chris Emerson, be- cause it's easier to raise money for activi- ties. With Mr. Artimez as the new band director, the group entered into many con- cert appearances. The District and Regional festivals, along with public concerts, and various school concerts named a few. With so many musically talented members, the band did not go unnoticed. In January the group was standing on the steps in front of the Auditorium, members in uniform and holding their instruments, waiting to have their group shot taken for the Annual. The picture was scheduled for 7:30 but an An- nual Staff photographer failed to show up. The members stood in rows for forty-five minutes waiting while playing the Fight song. It was really tiresome, recalled Mimi Dominguez, a first year member, because when a member is in uniform he is not allowed to eat, drink, or sit. As many past members have joked, You can't live in your uniform! When the delayed photographer finally showed up, the result was 68 sour notes. Good, Good Vibrations
