Central Washington Band Day A dark cold morning at 4:00 A. M. on October 11, 1961, the Lacrosse High School Band left Lacrosse for the Central Washington State College Band Day in Ellensburg. After participating in the festivities the bands were guests of the college to watch a game .between Eastern Washington College of Cheney, and Central Washington. Following the game the members of the band attended different clinics for clarinet-oboe, trombone, and percussion. The instructors showed the way to get the best tone from your instrument and answered many questions from the students. Later in the evening the band attended a concert given by the United States Navy Band. Gay Wise was privileged to play with the Band for a few numbers. Then the tired, cold, but happy band members started on the long ride homeward, arriv- ing in Lacrosse at 3:15 A.M. on October 12. The above picture was taken of our band during the pre-game activities in which all the bands gathered on the field and played a few numbers in mass formation.

Ann Allert, Kathy Pittman, Vicki Krorn, Lorna Bell, Sharon Barry. Drum Muior Rodney Bryan served as drum major this year. His job was to lead the band and to give them commands for different maneu- vers. Rodney deserves lots of credit for a job well done. Muiorettes Ann, Kathy, Vicki, Lorna, and Sharon have worked together and co-operated with Mr. Bos to work up a lively routine to execute while the band is marching. A lot is added to our marching band when these five lovely girls precede it. Three of the girls graduate in the spring, but we hope the other two Will continue. Rodney Bryan
