On August 22, before school started they went to Lincoln for the annual Shrine Bowl. On October 9, they attended Melody Roundup at Hastings where they earned a II rating. A few weeks following this they went to Lincoln where they marched in class competition at the Pershing Auditorium Marching Clinic. They also received a II rating here. On March 23, they worked very hard at Dorchester, where they performed in the evening for the Pioneer Band Clinic. Then on April 6, eleven people attended the Clarinet Clinic at Sutton. District Music Contest was held in Fairmont on April 22 and 23. They completed their year with four superiors (I) and eighteen excellents (II) at contest. A great deal of thanks and appreciation go out to Mr. Machal, the band director, who spent a good deal of time and effort with the band.
