Seven band members were sent as representatives of Hartland Acad- emy to Kennebec Valley Band. This number was more than any other small town sent. Below are the K. V. members with the number of years they attended K. V. B. The H. A. Band again scored on Academy night at P. T. C. C. This was considered one of our more successful ventures. Plans have been made to purchase new uniforms for the band to wear at the Eastern Maine Music Festival in Bangor. A mus-ical comedy will be presented in order to raise funds for this purpose.
