Marching at football games, playing for the student body and giving concerts are all contributions of the Con- cert, Symphonic and Hyland bands. Band students put many hours of hard work into these activities. Each band practices five days a week and members put in many extra hours of practice on their own time. Although the work can become tedious, most members agree it is well worth the effort to take an active part of school life.
