Band my w ssential ingredient at many events A four-day trip to Canada over the summer was just one of the many highlights of the 1981-82 band season. The band spent a fun-filled weekend touring Canada, while orchestrating for the Canadians. The trip included a brief stop at Seattle, Washington, a tour of Vancouver and Victoria British Columbia, and performances onboard two ferries at Campbell River and Victoria. Senior brass player Pat Van Horn spoke enthusi- astically of the trip, I enjoyed Canada and I thought it was a great experience. l'm glad I had the opportu- nity to go. The musicians held concerts, including the band and choir Christmas concert on December 11. Dra- ma Instructor Vi Watson commented, 'tThe most enjoyable part of the program for me was hearing the large concert band. I think they sounded wonder- ful. The group also added entertainment to many pep assemblies, football games, and both boys and girls basketball games. The band had the opportuni- ty to play at the Salem Armory for the Girls' state basketball tournament and at the Memorial Colise- um for the boys' state tournament. We loved having the band at games! exclaimed Varsity Rally Member Lyn Thompson. They really helped us and the crowd bring the teams to many victories. Sophomore Jennifer Curran agreed, The band was really spirited and showed a lot of enthusiasm at the state tournaments. I think it helped the team's confidence throughout the year. Llpholding the tradition of visiting Packy the ele- phant at the zoo on his birthday, which is April 14, the band played such tunes as The Baby Elephant Walk, and Happy Birthday. Band member Patti Sullivan revealed, I have enjoyed my freshman year in band and I am looking forward to many more years playing the flute. TOOTING THEIR HORNS are Marshall's trumpet players, who joined in with the rally in raising the fans' spirit for the M-Maids state basketball tournament.
