They all are given tonettes and they practice them for a year, Those who show aptitude are given lessons in the fifth grade. After a year's work, if they do well, they are put into Junior Band. From here, if they do well, they are put into Senior Band. Everyone gets a chance when it is possible. Through Junior and Senior Band, lessons are continued. JUNIOR BAND: The Junior Band is playing more difficult music this year than ever before. For the first time, they are having the same number of concerts as Senior Band. This is a great improvement because before they have had only one concert per year. SENIOR BAND The Senior Band marched away with many honors last summer. At Sidney they took lst place, Binghamton 3rd place, New Berlin 2nd place and Norwich 2nd place. For the first time we marched at the State Fair. The competition was tough but our band fared well. We had 94 points as a total and the band that placed 3rd had 94+. Out of 50 possible credits for music, we had -19. 31, and out of 50 possible credits for marching, we had -1-1. 7. This year, we too, are definitely playing more difficult music. From classical to popular, we play them all,
