This is the DHS football field at 7:20 in the morning. In the moonlight there is quiet. The peaceful music of birds come floating across the empty field, and—Wait! There are people run¬ ning around in the dark out there! What kind of fools would be outside at this hour of—Oh! It ' s the Marching Band. See how colorful they are: Blue lips, red noses, purple fingers, and green feet. This must be loyalty. This is the DHS band room at fourth period. The Wind Ensemble is practicing. Hear the in¬ tonation. See Mr. Fleming hear the intonation. See Mr. Fleming wince. This must be dedication. This is the Wind Ensemble going. Where is the Wind Ensemble going? To Raleigh, to Fayetteville, to Bristol, to Greensboro. This must be spirit. The DHS Band is indeed one of the most loyal, dedicated, and spirited organizations in the school. Moreover, it is known to be one of the finest concert bands in the state. Its members take pride in knowing their mutual excellence, in knowing the satisfaction of superior achieve¬ ment. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Robert Fleming, the Wind Ensemble has become an organization of which Durham can be ex¬ tremely proud. —David Walker 143 I
