Each year the band holds a concert in the spring and another in the fall. On October 28, 1969, the band repre- sented Laurel Valley at the Halloween Parade in Johnstown. The band dressed as animals and played Talk With the Animals. Because of the hard work the members put into the costumes and rou- tine, the band placed third. K, Keck, C.
