Musicians Hot, sweaty, marching prac- tices and long steady hours after school for concert band were all a part of being in band. But the hours of dedication paid off with good ratings at contest. The work was incredibly hard sometimes, but I ' m really glad I stuck with it because when it was time for us to go out on the field or into contest it really gave me a good feeling to know that we were able to hon- estly say we did our best, soph- omore Nicole White said. Being in band meant more than just learning how to play an instrument. It took dedica- tion and the willingness to put in extra hours . A band member had to practice at home each night to learn the music. They had to compete for positions in their sections and officers were depended on to keep things run- ning smoothly for the rest of the band. I ' m the librarian and its my job to make sure all the music is filed in the right places, and if anyone needs a copy of some- thing then I take care of it, sophomore Jennifer Clark said. Pulling together meant good results for band memb ers. Sometimes the days seemed like they would never end and often when the members went home every muscle in their body was sore.
