Band members formed mold for future Camping, coordination, and concerts were ingredients that made the BH.S bands successful from the first football game on. Director William Fread built two per- forming band groups. The 86-piece Sym- phonic and 67-piece Concert bands com- bined in the fall to compose the 153- piece Bruin Marching Band. The two bands perf ormed separately on the same concert programs. The Marching Band won first di- vision rating in the state marching con- test. Seven first divisions were also won in the State Solo and Ensemble contest. Twenty-three band units won first di- vision in the district event earlier. In the regular state contest, the Sym- phonic Band was awarded a perfect first and the concert group won a second division (excellent) rating. Community appearances of the BHS Band included the American Legion Day parade, where a trophy was won. and the Hartford City Christmas parade. The finale for the 34 senior band members was a concert at which they presented an engraved plaque to Mr. Fread.
