defsaa' Considered the finest from the high school in many years, the Birmingham band, under the baton of Arnold W. Berndt, has distinguished itself both as a marching and concert musical organization. Since it is the city's onlyband, its activities included playing for football and basketball games, leading the students on Field Day and at the Royal Oak pep rally at the theatre, and marching in the traditional Hallowe'en and Memorial Day parades. Although it qualified to take part in the state festival by taking a superior rating at its district festival, it did not participate because of dates conflicting with spring vacation. Solos and ensembles by members of the group made a fine showing at their district and state festivals. Flute: John Boulton, Sandra Puls, Ann Ruttledge, Lelia Barber. game!
