Super-hard working Golden Ingot Marching Band members earn new uniforms that instill pride and dignity Slater’s efforts set the pace The River Forest Band was a shining example for many schools, especially North Jud- son. This school in particular benefited both directly and indi- rectly from Mr. Slater’s knowl- edge and skill. Gary Kuechenburg, a gradu- ate of River Forest, attended VanderCook College of Music and is now the head band direc- tor at North Judson San Pierre High School. As an attempt to help expand the North Judson band program, Mr. Kuechen- burg invited the RF Band to share in the pre-game show per- formance. The River Forest Band was greeted with ap- plause and appreciation by North Judson when they mar- ched in the parade and half- time show. MARCHING BAND 87
