Band began the school year with flying colors by making a number of commendable appearances at football games Where they added to the spirit of the team and the enthusiasm of the fans. Throughout the season the band could be seen and heard each day during the third period, practicing old and new music and formations in order to make both a harmonious and a colorful display in blue and gold before the spectators of the coming games. The football season was climaxed for the musicians as well as for the football team on Friday, November 14, when Litchfield played Scottsdale. The fun began in the afternoon When the band paraded through Litchfield Park, Goodyear, and Avondale together with decorated cars and floats in honor of the coming game, and that night its outstanding achievement was the playing of the Anniversary VValtz and the for- mation of a 25 in honor of Litchfield High's twenty-fifth year. The band had a most pleasant trip to Tucson for the Senior Day festivities at the University. After being transported by the American Bus, the members met bands from all over Arizona at Tucson and all played at the game that night as one gigantic group.
