12 Concert Band Band entertains on Swedish day Playing in a variety of styles, band was the only organization active all year round. Busy throughout the summer, the band appeared in community celebrations in Forest Lake, St. Cloud, and Montgomery. Due to a limited number of members available, marching in the Minneapolis Aquatennial was canceled. Adding color to Homecoming, the band played for coronation and a special halftime show. In honor of the 125th anniversary of the first Swedish settlement in Minnesota, the band performed in Scandia. Concert activities included the Christmas and spring concerts and the state music contest. Ranging from concerts and pepfest to parades, band performances offered entertainment for the students and community.

Combining ingredients with a variety of flavors, broth is the binding element of a mixture. In much the same way, the school organizations we participate in bring us into contact with others. We make friends with others different from us and learn to respect their opinions. Our experiences in organizations help to make us more adaptable and open minded.
