Camp included getting up with the sun to do calisthenics at seven o'clock, marching in thunderstorms, a hair- raising movie, initiations, and of course, Vesper Point. After camp the band had a few weeks until their first marching date at the Akron South game. All in all, the band had a great season including many stand- ing ovations which could be credited to their enthusiasm. Because of the size of the band this year, it was divided into a concert band and a symphonic band lcomprised of and Kmq N- ott Powell, ond Senior Becky Huffman with Jeft Mt Van. Band members Sue Farley and Ed Whitman dance to the music of Don Clivi and his bond during the first autumn band prom held right after marching season because of the change in the band's structure. select membersl. For this reason the band prom was held right after marching season before the band split into two groups. The theme of the prom was The Wizard of Oz. Members of the band decorated the gym, made refreshments, and lined up the entertainment for the prom themselves. The queen and her court were crowned at the dance, and band members enioyed dancing to the music of Don Clivi. Almost everybody agreed they had a good time. The band presented a Christmas concert in coniunction with the choral department in December. They also presented their Spring concert in May. Band members also participated in the solo and ensemble con- test in March along with Tag Day which is a fund raising drive. Also the stage band held o festival in May, which was a contest for local stage bands. Band officers for 1974-75 were Doug Myers - president, Becky Cassler - vice president, April Kidder - secretary, Jeff McVan - treasurer, and Brian Gillespie - publicity chairman. Their duties included, for the president, to take over the band when Mr. McCleaster couldn't be there. The vice president was chairman of the band prom and the rest of the officers' duties fell into line with other organiza- tions. The officers were elected at band camp and served through the year.
