Hard Work, Unity Spark Band Hard work, spirit and unity charac- terized the Mighty Mustang band, more than 130 strong, as they marched and played their way through a successful musical year. New drills and new songs comprised many of the ' hand s liall-linie performances as they lead a cheering Mustang stjuad of athletes and fans at all pep rallies and home football games. One special performance was the History of Music performed in October at the King-Miller football game. Members marched together to form musical instruments, thus emphasizing the evolution of music. All during the season and later on into tlie year, Saturday practices and morning and ;iftemoon work sessions played a necessarv role for band members. Mr. Loren Hall, band director, added the needed ingredient ol leadership. A Christmas concert, varied con tests, including UIL, candy sales and a Mexican supper added to the steady activity ol ihe band. An annual concert tour in April along with competition in the Buccaneer Days Music Festival, brought the year to a close.
