These members are taken from the seventh to the eleventh grades. The band has played at the majority of the football games and in several of the school activities. The Senior band has been asked to play in chapel several times for the complete student body. In the fall, the band was asked to play for the Ragtime Wedding of Mr. Atkinson and Miss Hundley in an Amateur Program sponsored by the Beta Club. It was a huge success, and for clever and outstanding performance the band walked away with one of the top prizes. With the guidance and patience of the band director, Miss Gemmel and with many hours of practice by the band members, a concert recital was given on February 20th for all who wished to come.
