Members not Phyllis Sinsel, Rhythm Rides with Music Makers Oneiof the most active organizations in C. C. H. S. is the band; it plays for pep rallies, football and basketball games; it performs at the county fair; it parades; and it forms the nucleus of the Central ' City town band. Added to this list of activities is the bandit; participation in the annual music contest. Placed among class B bands, the band has been given superior ratings for 'three consecutive years. All of this has been accomplished in the past seven years by NIark L. Crandall, di- rector. XVlleirhe- came to Central City there were only 16 in the band that now' boasts some 50 members. i NIcmbers of the band are fortunate in that the band takes trips to neighboring towns during the year. Among the major ,of these excursions is the Harvest of Har- mony in Grand Island. Bands from all ov- er the state attend, forming a picturesque sight with their many-differant . colored uniforms. . The Chamber of Commerce Sponsors several of the out-of-towxi trips for good- will purposes. At 4th of July festivals and other special events at Riverside Park, the band .is a main feature. When the complete band is play for some: occasions, the unable to pep band takes over. This is a miniature band with i only the more important instrumentation represented. e Officers elected mid-year were 'NIal- colm Phares, president; Virginia vDemel, vice-president and Selma Jean McConnell secretary. - Besides serving the cominunity and school, the band afferdsitheistlident an op- portunity to discover his musical talent, as-well as to develop niusical abpreciation. an McConnell, True Burr, Donald Martin Almqnist, Joan Critcs, Phil Dwain Brumbraugh, Leroy' Reece, First. roxlzKentiNewmyer, Martha Rae Crites, Mari pictured Margaret Andrews, Donavan Cranda Dt
