Changes mark year for inarching band Adjustment. That was the word which best summed up the year 1981-82 for the Reagan marching band. With the resigning of directors Ms. Cin- dy Mikel and M r. Richard Funk, summer band brought two new directors: Mr. Jim Williamson and Mr. Jeff Traster. Did this have any kind of ill effect on the band. ' Drum Major Randy Wedlund says no. At first, it was kind of a surprise, com- mented Randy. Everyone began to like them. There weren ' t any negative effects. I think accepting the two new band directors was the biggest accomplishment of the band, added Randy. Most of the time it ' s hard to make a change. The band first displayed their accep- tance with an improved performance at the Band Jamboree September 3 at Memorial Stadium. October 31, the band traveled to Houston for the Marching Bands of America contest. Reagan ' s not making the finals was somewhat of a disap- pointment according to Randy. Other major marching contests included the UIL contest. The band received a sec- ond division rating for their performance. Our marching was a little shaky, co m- mented Randy, but we did not practice enough. According to head director Mr. Jim Williamson, Reagan had more people make district band than ever before. My first year was quite enjoyable, stated Mr. Williamson. These are very talented musicians. Tromhotie players Jimes Dapper, Kent Roberts, and Pal Shinkle display their musical lalems for ihe judges at the With immenie concentration, senior Hope Ruiz picks oul UIL contest. a tune on her flute. 143
