Preparation and practice were the big keys to the Concert Band's tremendous success. The Sounds of Music could be heard floating within the Music department as the Concert Band prepared for their four concerts. The first was a Christmas Concert given on December 11, followed by two con- certs during the first week of March; a Pre-Festival Concert, and the District Concert Festival. The year culminated with the annual Spring Concert, given the fourth week of May. Practice and prepara- tion certainly paid off for the Con- cert Band members as the year was a big success.
