These students prepared music and drill that would be performed August 25 at the State Fair Band Day competition, for two weeks of practice. Practice was bearable because the students were bursting with excitement as the day drew closer. On Sunday, August 17, the football stands were filled with people from the community to watch the dress rehearsal. The following Tuesday the band traveled to the State Fair Opening Day Parade where they competed with 6 of the bands they would later meet in the original competition. The band placed fourth. Although tlye results weren't as hoped for, the students had a chance to help overcome their fears and be attentive to the process. When the 25th arrived and the students rolled out of bed, early, for the last time. The FSHS band hall was overflowing with anticipation and excitement of what was to happen. The goal for the year was to make the night show and perform on television. Sweet 16 was the number to reach, and the band did. Rain made the track muddy but didn't dampen spirits. When the afternoon results were announced the band was advanced to the night competition. Again rain fell and the bands had to march through it. In the end. the Dogs finished in a proud position of 15. T! e goal had been reached, friendships made, marching abilities improved, and as always a greater hope for next year was formed by the experience. The band performed to Taurus’' composed by Bob Cotter. Blue Skies composed by Irving Berlin, and arranged by Greg Barker, and Phapsody in Blue composed by George Gershwin, and arranged by Greg Barker. BAND DAY 9
