From taking second in Kenmore to a fifth place in Fairview, where the band was awarded a trophy for best solo- ists. the band was always on the road. Syracuse became the goal. The band had been working on the' show for months, starting even before band camp. The week of band camp was not only a week of hard work, but also a week to make friends and have some fun. Every night there was something dif- ferent happening. The first night there was a get ac- quainted dance. Then throughout the week there was a volleyball tourna- ment. talent night. a pool. One could always find a pizza party around. The last day there was a show and each band showed the other bands what IO Student Life they had learned that week. There was a special song, America . that all of the bands played together and the auxiliary units did routines to. There were awards, and Harbor received best Flag line, best Rifle line, and best spirit. Juliann Stredney received an award for the best camper of Harbor's band. Finally. after months of hard work and practice, and learning. changing, and relearning routines and drills the day approached and the excitement mounted.
