Entertainment provided by the band. The marching band was a performance group which provided entertaining music dur- ing football and basketball games. During the football season, the band participated in home games by performing in a pre-game perfor- mance of The Star Spangled Banner and a half-time show in which the band marched to the music Conquest, Los Diablos, The Win- ners Circle. You ' ll Never Walk Alone, and the percussion interlude of Old MacDonald Had a Drumline. In November the band was invited to perform at one of San Bernardino Valley College ' s football games. The band also participated in parades — in the Homecoming parade, and San Bernardino High School ' s Centennial parade. In December, the band was invited to march throughout Magic Mountain and afterwards took advantage of the park ' s facilities. Directed by Mr. Doug Emerson, the band practiced their marching in the morning dur ing first period while new music was sightread during fourth period in the bandroom. The marching was practiced on the football field and on Arden Avenue, close to the tennis courts. Although the band members worked hard to reach their potential of marching abilities, most of them agreed that being in the band was a fun and a worthwhile experience. Band gave them the opportunity to facilitate their musical ability and be exposed to other musi- cians from whom they could learn more skills. Most of all, being in band offered the oppor tunities of traveling and meeting many in teresting people.
