I Mr, Girten, Director BAND Band members became car washers and gasoline dis- pensers when Way'ne's Sohio Gas Station was turned over to them for an entire Saturday. The proceeds were used for sound -proofing . When the football season was over, the Band Moth- er s presented them with the annual band banquet. At the banquet those who were outstanding in appearance during the season received cash awards. All of the seniors were given pins, according to the number of years that they had been in band, The band gives an annual concert in May. Besides this concert we played before the student body in as- sembly. Also the band played for the March of Dimes program. From the concert band members are chosen to play in the Fulton County Music Festival, The band program for school students is a year round event. Many become outstanding musicians, and go on in music as their life work. f x , ' Ns, Rxstsfs Q - I-in ff an X 1 With the end of the school year, the band members begin to think about the summer marching that is to be done. Mr. Girten makes up a schedule, with a practice every Tuesday night. The band members then start to get in shape for the parades and concerts. The first parade of the season is the Memorial Day parade. Then as the surnnier goes on the band participates in other parades. At the Holland weplaced second. At Jackson, Michigan and Delta we received first ratings. A concert was played in Metamora, and other parades were held in Bryan and Lyons. At the Fulton County Fair the band played a concert in front of the grand stand. Con- nie Rinkle, our faithful druxn rnajor, received a trophy for the best twirler in the county, in stiff competition. Because of their faithfulness to the band and to Mr. Girten, the Band Mother's rewarded the students with a picnic at Pokagan State Park, where swirnrning and games were enjoyed. As school started the band members began their marching practice for the football games. There was a practice held every Tuesday night plus the period set aside for practice during school hours. The banddid some very fast marching and played some very difficult pieces, besides their formations. Connie Rinkle, Drum Major
