Change was a key word to describe the band this year. With the retirement of Mr. Appelman, Mr. Gregory Reed joined the staff as band director. He found the challenge of four home games immediately after school began and then an early Homecoming. The front lawn daily saw the band marching and practicing to pull off a success each time. Modern music joined the traditional numbers in the band ' s classwork. On February 21, Algonac students will be attending the Solo and Ensemble Competition. This is a first for the band. The goal of the competition is for students to “compete against themselves and how well they can prepare a piece.” (Mr. Reed) President of the ' 81 band is Debbie Chalmers with Kathie Seibert as Vice President. Both worked with Mr. Reed and the Band Aids to insure a successful program. Majorettes and Precisionettes also saw many changes. A professional coach, Angie Tagosa was brought in to work with the groups. Led by Denise Cedar and Renee Cleary, majorettes added style and class to football games, Christmas and Spring concerts and the Tiger game. Precisionettes, who practice once a week after school, found the year exciting. With captains, Laura Langan and Shari Stoner, the girls perfected new routines. Taft Road Jazz Society bid farewell to Mr. Appelman at the retirement dinner held at Henry’s. With their excellence well known in the community, the group remained in demand throughout the year. Candy sales this year will help to purchase new uniforms, new instruments and go to the band camp fund and Cedar Point trip. saw the Precisionettes perform with the band when I was younger and always wanted to be one.
