The year began with students getting familiar with a new director. Miss Hulse. Miss Hulse instituted new ideas in the band, and according to students, made them work! She entered band students in several festivals and honor bands. These included the Meistersinger Honor Band, The Tallcorn Honor Band, and the Tallcorn Jazz Festival. These activities kept the band busy along with their many other duties. The band participated in the Swing Show, the Winter and Spring Concerts, and graduation. The Marching Band shivered through 7:00 a m. practices preparing for football game halftime performances. They performed a drill, dedicated a feature song, and played a pop song at each game. The pep band roused basketball crowds at halftime with such songs as The Theme from the Muppet Show,” Stray Cat Strut,'' and The Theme from Happy Days. Instrumental 17

For many, like Jon Rathe, contest was a chance to make new friends and renew old friendships with students from other schools. Others, like Michelle Zabel, found that contest was easier than before with past years of contest experience and performances in front of an audience. One of the many humorous moments at contest happened when the Madrigal sang in a circle. The contest judge did not know how to observe the chorus, so he stood in the middle, turning around in a circle as he watched each member of the Madrigal sing. Another funny moment took place when someone from another school unsuccessfully attempted to pull off the NU High music director's toupee. Mingling with old and new friends, relieving tension with a few funny capers, and of course, performing before judges, fills contest.
