Phoenix Trip The F-C band members raised 60,000.00 with the help of the entire band, the community and private donations by selling various items, among these were: cheese and sausage, and citrus fruits, to go on a 9 day trip to Phoenix, Arizona. The band was asked by the state of Illinois Lions to represent them at the Int. Lions Parade. Seeing the Grand Canyon was a thrilling experience. The band entertained the International Lions the morning of the parade. Mrs. Hammit tryed to climb over the sleeping bodies. Practice sessions in Texas sent “warm” feelings through us. Because of thse two, our band did it!
