Lebanon Union High School - Warrior Yearbook (Lebanon, OR)

BAND This is the second year that Lebanon has had an organized high school band. The band has been under the direction of Mr. Wiscarson both years. On the first day of school last year twelve students turned out for band. The band can now boast of forty-six members, not including the flashy corps of nine girl drum majors and two boy drum majors. The possibility of a ninety-piece band next year is promising. Perhaps the item of least importance to band members is the one-half credit a year they receive for band work. An item of far more importance to them is the trips taken. This year, besides playing for football, basketball and baseball games at home, the band played at games in Albany and Corvallis. The organization gave a concert at Sweet Home and a joint concert with the Albany band. Plans are being made for the band to appear in the Rose Festival parade at which time it will compete for a prize. Last year the band entered the state contest in Class C and came home with a rating of “Excellent,” which is the same as second place. This year it again entered the contest and came home with a rating of “Superior,” which is the same as first place. The Lebanon Band entered in Class C but it had the only single superior rating in Classes A, C, and B. All those who were present at the contest agreed that Leba- non had the flashiest and neatest uniforms of any band present. Comments from the judges were all very favorable.
