Band performances excite crowds Dividing the school year into two major parts, band members were continually striving to uphold their excellence from the past, while reaching for the goals which would set standards in the future. During the first semester, band members were some of the first to begin practice for football game performances, each show bringing phenomenal applause from enthu- siastic crowds. The competition with other area marching bands in contests always proved exciting, for again this year, Klein's ratings were superior. Although the beginning of the second semester marked the end of marching, this year's concert season kept the excitement flowing. As their goal, excellent perfor- mances and competition sweepstakes shined before them, each member took it upon himself to practice until reaching perfection. This year's most exciting trip was to Corpus Christi for the Buccaneer Music Festival. At this time everyone received his rewardfor hard workand dedication-thejoy of performing.
