ASHLEY SCHOOL BAND The band is composed of 50 high school and grade school members this year. The band is a very proud organization this year because we have new uniforms. The uniforms consist of hats, coats, and trousers. The parents and townspeople helped us pay for them. The band has added a few new members this year. It is still going through a period of rebuilding. Only three of the experienced will gradu- ate this year. Rehearsal time is spent mostly on drill work, preparing for basketball games and concerts. Separate instrumental classes are held and solo lessons are given. The performances the band has given have been, playing for Teach- er's Institute, and combining with Carlyle, Nashville, and Sandoval in giving Tri-County Music Festivals. There are four festivals a year. One festival is held at each school. At the Ashley concert the performance was broadcast over WCNT-FM. This is the first broadcast of this type in this area. These festivals were started instead of going to music contest. We also have a Spring Concert. The band is to have an exchange program with Marissa sometime in the Spring.
