To Participate in U. of Wis. Band Day Drum maior Gary Johnson and bond members direct E-Rob fans in a 'Sing Along' during half-time at a football game. With the thundering of drums and blaring of trumpets, East's Marching Band becamethe first Illinois high school band to participate in the University of Wisconsin Band Day. Directed by Mr. Gordon Bueschel, the 94-piece band gave its annual performance in the Northwestern Band Day in the fall. Daily practice either on the field or in the band room prepared band members for appearances in benefit concerts for Guilford and Auburn High Schools, local parades, and their annual concert in the spring. Half-time shows at home football games this year introduced the 'Sing Along' to en- thusiastic E-Rab fans. Many band members led the surprise finale with '76 Trombones' in 'Music Man . Mr. Gordon Bueschel directs the East Band between the sophomore and varslty basketball games.
