SABER TALES — Entertainment Band P 23 “MARCHING IN STYLE’’ During mid-season the band faced perhaps its most difficult challenge. They met it head on and finished the season with pride. In addition to their per- formance at the New York State Field Band Competition they participated in concerts during the months of November, December, February, March and May. The fall season included half-time shows at the football games and in the spring they par- ticipated in the numerous NYSMA activities.
