Concert Season Reaps Rewards After the band completed marching season, they began rehearsing for the upcoming con- cert season. Moving indoors, the band had to leave the field behind and concentrate on stage presence, intonation, and phrasing. As usual, the band did excellent at competition. At dis- trict contest, the band made straight superior ratings. Moving on to state, the band made straight superiors in concert performance. They were the only band to receive superior ratings from all three judges. To wrap up the year the band held its second annual band banquet. Awards were given, spe- cial students were recognized, and good food was served. The band also gave a spring con- cert in the high school gym. The beginner and intermediate bands played as well as the varsi- ty band. The band had another rewarding year. One would find it difficult to decide what the best thing to happen to the band was. The band members agree that the getting Miss Kendrick as their band director was the best thing that happened to the band this year. Not many people have the ability to come straight from college to a band and carry on a tradition of excellence. As the band ' s track record shows, she did a superior job.
