Hooray for Vikings, was one of the tunes often played by the MVHS Marching band during many school activities. The band was involved in many parades and received nu- merous first place awards. This was the year, finally, of brand new band uniforms. Over $27,500 was spent to outfit the Marching Band with 100 new up-to-date, hi tech uni- forms for a cost of $275 each. Drum Major Damon Anderson, was elated, saying, These uniforms will convey a new sense of pride to the school and the community. They were a worthy investment. Mr. Benge. advisor, and Damon Anderson. set the pace for another year of musical suc- cess. Competitions are kind of like athletic events. All the participating schools go to the host school ' s athletic field and compete in various categories. Our school size put us in different categories for each contest. The band performs a practiced selection and is judged against the rest of the bands in their category. We placed in each contest we en- tered. Between the La Habra, RCC, and El Modena field shows and fittings for new uni- forms, the band carried the tradition of ex- cellence. I he music is in the fingers as displayed by Mr. Benge and crew.
