The Geneva High Marching Band had a very successful fall under the direction of Mr. Fabrizio and Mr Pronti. They presented four spirited half-time shows at the home football games. The Band received a standing ovation after their performance at Hobart College. During the City of Geneva s Halloween Parade, they added a special touch to the occasion by showing up in costumes. The Band also marched at the firemen’s inspection. The success of the fifty-eight band members, thirty-one color guards, four majorettes, and four rifle carriers was partly due to their twice weekly 7 A M. practices. On November 21. 1978. the members held their annual Band Day and Band Banquet. The Marching Band is looking forward to competing with other schools in the spring competitions. Marching Band 19
