Now presenting — the Haltom High School Marching Band. Think about it a minute. Just what would we have done without a band? Could you imagine a football game without that fight song blaring out? What would the Highsteppers have done without the band? Pretty strange sight. There were several different divisions of the band. The one with which most students were familiar was the marching band, in which members of all bands were eligible to enter. The marching band performed at all foot- ball gam.es, and participated in the Bell Marching Contest on October 30, and the UIL (University Interscholastic League) Marching Contest on No- vember 9. Twirling out ahead of the band. Majorette Dorothy Woods puts a little fire in her act by using fire batons. Besides winning a chair in the All State Band, Joey Phelps with the help of Denise French leads the band as drum major. Mr. Roy Price (Director) Spirit 39

Our band ' s sound echoed throughout the town and state. The First Stage Band also entered contests this year. The Stephen F. Austin Stage Band Festival called for a trip to Nacogdoches, and the Buffs also entered the Castle- berry Stage Band Festival. This year the i-irst Concert Band entered several contests and walked away with honors. Two Haltom students were selected from the All Region Band Auditions on December 11. Castleberry had a band festival on April 8, at which the Buffs received ratings of II in concert and sight-reading. Similar to the Castleberry competition was the UIL contest, which the band also entered. Brian Oilman and David Young jazz up the band with some slow soulful sax.
