The band, better than ever, The third period is band class every day, and Room 8 fairly bursts with oom-pah's and tweedle-de-de's, squeaks and crashes, as the eighty- odd band members go through their daily stint. Brownie must have the wisdom of Solomon and the patience of Job to groom them all into the fine musical organization that they are. Our hearts swell with pride when we see them go through their formations at the half during foot- ball season, and we love to keep time as they entertain us at every pep session and home basketball game. Besides school activities, the band always obliges for community affairs, such as the Halloween parade, Christmas programs, and the Easter bunny parade. They gave three public concerts, selling tickets to help buy four new instruments this year. Contest-wise, the band played at the state fair and the Bluffton street fair. ln April they entered the state band contest at Fort Wayne Central High School. Outstanding soloists were Bonnie Steed, Pat Linder, Doug Milligan, and Joyce Resur. X-:Ls ik, 149 Gabe Lf H2 Q Q.av me .512 , W .wt it is c 1. , --ew kg 5?
