Band Performs On, Off Stage At the beginning of the Summer of '85, band members packed their bags for a five day adventure to Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada. While there, they participated in the Red River Exhibition International Band Festival. The band competed in field and street marching. Sites such as the zoo and the Museum of Man and Nature were visited. Throughout the school year, the band members brushed up on their field and street marching for Hobo Days and Trojan Days. Concert mu- sic, individual contest pieces, and tryouts for All-State band were next on the agenda. Half-time performances at home events, entertained and enthused the crowd and competing teams. The flag team, also, participated by performing routines to the band’s music. Practice sessions often began be- fore school for the stage band. They used this time to rehearse jazz and pop music for three concerts pre- sented in December, March, and May.
