Experienced band members began the year by teaching the new members how to march during the summer until the Indian River Marching Braves made their debut with the start of the football season. The band surprised audiences on both sides o f the stadium with everything from the 1812 Overture to the Teaberry Shuffle. The band closed its marching season by performing at a Neptune game and in the Oyster Bowl Parade. The Concert Band performed for the first time with the chorus at the Christmas Concert. The band rewarded itself for its efforts with a Christmas Band Banquet. Mr. Shumaker, who has taught band around the world, was the guest speaker and gave a most interesting talk. Besides group participation, music also involves individual effort. Many members were fortunate enough to participate in the Southeastern Regional Band. Those who placed high in the Regional Band had the opportunity to participate in the All-City Chesapeake High School Band. After months of preparation, the band performed in grade six for the first time at the Annual Music Festival. Individual members, as well as small ensembles, distinguished themselves at the Solo and Ensemble Festival. Band is not all work. Band members enjoyed themselves on the annual spring trip. They closed the year of concentrated effort with the Spring Concert. In June the band said goodbye to seventeen senior members. The band members have done a lot together this year, and the seniors will be missed. The band is fortunate to have such a fine director — Mr. Page — and the band members extend their gratitude as well as their thanks. Although being a part of the band involves a lot of work, any band member will tell you that this has been a very good year. Mr. James D. Page Conductor
