Band marches for high honors This year ' s Manual Marching Sym- phonic Band really proved itself as the greatest little band in the land. Marching on a field of mud in the driving rain, the Redskin Band took top honors at the First Annual Central In- diana Marching Band Contest at Leba- non on September 29. Led by Bruce R. Smith, director, Matt McAllister, drum major? John Mont- gomery, band .captain, Sam Prindle, brass lieutenant, Nancy Myrrick, wood- wind lieutenant, and Sarah Masengale, historian, the band went back to Leba- non two weeks later and, again on a muddy field, took a first division rating in ISMA Contest. Manual ' s Marching Band also per- formed at halftime of all home football games. In the spring, Manual ' s band was se- lected from all the bands in the state to go to the MENC music competition. This was truly a prestigious honor for Manual ' s Marching Redskins. ° Manual ' s Symphonic Band went to the ISMA Contest for symphonic bands and again took a first division rating. Matt McAllister, drum major, feels that this has been a very successful year for the band and I am proud to be a member. ■■■■■■■?
