'he Band Is A “Firestarter” The Lake Preston High School Band had a busy year under the direction of Kathy Boullion. The band started by practicing hard and then marching for Pow Wow Days in Huron and then on the Hobo Days in Brookings. After this they started preparing for individual contest at Watertown which was held on March 30. Here they had great success with eight superior ratings on both solos and ensembles. An additional nine participants received the ratings of excellents plus the jazz band who also received an excellent. On May 1. the band went to Milbank for large group contest where they walked away with a whopping one minus. To end the year the band performed a spring concert on May 14. Throughout the year the pep band was always there when the basket- ball teams, football teams, or the pep ralleys needed someone to cheer them on. For the first time in years the Lake Preston band had two students accepted to All-State Band. Carol Hesby, a senior, was chosen for her second year to participate in the band. She was ranked as being the fourth best percussionist in the state which is a great honor. Also accepted to be an alternate in the band was Ronda Palmlund, a sophomore. She was allowed to attend all rehearsals and received a first year member medal. The band felt they had a good year and are looking forward to the upcoming years. An all-girl band?

The Choir Is Rewarded At Contest The choir had a new instructor who was Melodi Van Roekel. She and the choir spent many hours of vocalizing to prepare for the many concerts and contests that they participated in. Contest is a very busy time but the time proved to be rewarding to several students who participated in solos and ensembles. Some of the groups involved were: swing choir Sound Celebration. girls ensemble, boys ensemble, many duets and several solos. The choir also went to large group contest in Milbank on May 1st which turned out to be very rewarding. Here they were judged on three songs by three different judges. Individually the judges scores were a I-. a II+ , and a II. When the scores were averaged out the mixed chorus received a II + which they were very happy with. The swing choir also performed in their own concert. They then went on to participate at the NSC Jazz Festival in the class C division and won a second place trophy. All together, a new choral director, new sounds, and a great deal of patience from everyone gave way to an enjoyable year for the choir.
