was gps is 5006! ,f R.. goggie janefd Jgag representative, Janet Nyberg, freshman representative, and Yvonne Strand, eighth grade representative. OK, kids, get out Anoka Fight. That was band leader Morrie Johnson telling the kids to get all prepared for that favorite song in the hearts of all of us at the first basketball game, Everyone agrees that no band could be peppier at a game or pepfest than ours. The band's concert season is not all play and no work. Each day in practice sessions, breathing exercises and technique skills are improved day after day, and these many long hours of practice paid oft in the form of better playing at public appearances. The spring contest is always a big event for the band, and they were well prepared this year vvith many solos and ensembles representing the tornado school. At the district contest in Elk River, no school equaled Anoka in the results of the competition. Many groups, because ot . lt gg K g s. is . their fine results in the district contest, represented Anoka at the State music festival at the University of Minnesota in May. And then came the Pop Concert. Anyone who is a native of Anoka thinks of the Pop Concert as one of the finest evenings spent in our community. The band performed like professionals in their playing, the decora- tions vvere superb, and its food delicious. Mr. Johnson vvill never forget the tribute that was paid him by the students that night. He forgot all the grief that the band might ever have given him. The band played their final strains of music May 29, as the seniors marched up to receive their diplomas vvith Pomp and Circumstancef' But marching and playing vvill continue all through the summer at diflferent tovvns and in various festivities. The seniors and underclassmen will long remember the band of T952-53. mr. joLn5on
