Cames ILLIS HIGH The Willis High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Eugene Ross and assistant Mr. Kenneth jenkins, consisted of 95 members this year. The band took part in many activities of which the school and community can be proud. ' The marching band marched at the football games during the nine Weeks of football season. The pre-game and half-time shows the band presented were planned by the seniors of the band. Every day the band spent one hour at Community Field preparing for the coming game, often in cold and snowy weather. ' ' The marching band wore the traditional orange and black uniforms with white accessories. The band was lead by eight high strutting majorettes, who also had a new routine each Week. The last show presented by the marching band was a farewell salute to the seniors in the band. The band took the seniors on a tour of America featuring a formation and special music for each region of America. The final formation was a pennant and as the senioris names were read they formed a Wu inside the pennant.
