They have the most nearly complete instrumentation of any band in this section of Montana. During the year the work of the band has been playing for athletic games, pep assemblies, and rallies. They also worked up formations for football games and pre- sented an interesting display at the Park-Gallatin game in Livingston. The band tied with Billings for top honors at the Midland Empire Music Festival. Together with the Bobcat band, the Gallatin concert band presented a combined band concert on March 24. Besides playing numbers jointly, the bands also offered separate pieces. The Gallatin band also gave a concert during the open house at the Squaw Creek C.C.C. camp on Easter Sunday, April 9. 59
