B nd concert prove -to h«.vee tremendous p i i a 1 i -t y The bend students put en exceptional amount of effort into their concerts, marching, and their other activities. There were more students in the class this year than last year which gave the band a larger horn section. The class officers included president Duane Stateler, vice president Sheldon Bowen, secretary Jenny Haldiman, treasurer Tammy Burkett, and librarian Bill Reiman. These officers made decisions for the band members and presented those decisions to the class for the final voting. They also helped the new members become adjusted and they made announcements to the class. The librarian sorted the band materials for the class members. The marching band played for sports activities and various parades. The parades included the band day at Oregon State University where the band again placed first, a feat that is just about a Coquille band tradition. Other parades were the Cranberry festival in Bandon, the Centennial events, and Coquille's Gay 90's parade. The Centennial events were in celebration of the one-hundred-year birthday of the city of Coquille. The other activites played in were for competitions. The concerts held throughout the year were the Christmas, spring, review of bands, and the band festival which was held in Reedsport. Brenda Irwin, a senior, said, The Christmas concert was the most enjoyable one for me because we performed with the choir on several pieces. The most exciting event of the year was the Canada trip. The students spent a week in Canada marching and competing with other bands. Samm Christoferson, a junior, replied, I went two years ago and this year was just as much fun. The band also had fund raisers to help with the expenses of the Canada trip. They sold cookies, candy, and notebooks. The most important money maker was the Devilrieties which covered most of the expenses. These pages sponsored by A W Drive In Restaurant Barrow Drug Band concer-ts 9
