fi After an extremely busy marching season the band settled down to the tranquility of concert season. But, to their surprise, it was anything but tranquil. They were immediately handed Christmas music for their annual Christmas concert and their first-ever Christ- mas parade. Then, following these events, came the difficult music for band festival, an annual event that judges the bands potential. This year the band re- ceived the highest possible score of straight I ' s, which they have received for the past three years. Following this, music for the upcoming New York- Washington D.C. trip was passed out. The band left for New York on May 2 with just over 90 people. In addition to the 2 performances, I each at the Old Post Office in Washington and City Hall in New York, the band visited several of the Smithsonians, Trump Tower, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the World Trade Center, Times Square, and an original Broadway production of Andrew Lloyd Weber ' s The Phantom of the Opera. The students were allowed to meet several of the actors afterwards, and a special plaque with the actors autographs was pre- sented to the band. The year ended with a pops concert and an awards banquet, where each of the students received awards.
