RATT T TT T. .BOGIVH at-a-tat-tat . . . Boom! Familiar sounds of bass, tenor and alto seep through the cracks of the Eldorado Band room. Mr. Beckstead, instructor, spends much of his own time with his musically talented pupils, teaching basic and advanced skills to broaden their abili- ties. The Varsity Band performs at various school functions, including concerts and football and basketball games. At Festi- val, an annual competition, the Varsity Band doesquite well. Marva Banks, Junior stated that, Participating in band is a neat way to spend my spare time. The band practices not only in class each day, but also for two hours each Wednesday during Marching Season . The endless hours of pracrice pay off as the Varsity Band continues to keep up the tradition of excellence they have worked so hard to earn. James Ward and Matt Wiltson give it all they've got as they blow on their trumpets at the Spirit Assembly. Q61 Band
