This year's musicians completed their rigorous schedule beginning with the Christmas Concert and finishing Out the Best with the Pop's Concert in the spring. The band, except for eleven seniors whose music career at LHS had ended, brought to a close their year by play - ing for graduation. Finishing up their season, the band took part in the festivities at the University of North Da- kota Ellendale Branch, Home- coming. They received honor- able mention for their final performance.

Band Gains Praise by Practice Participation of the Leola High School band, composed of 39 mem- bers under the direction of Mr. Don Wade, enlivened the concerts with their many snappy selections. In- cluded in these selections were such numbers as Ceremonial Sketch , Shadow of your Smile , National Emblem , I Left My Heart in San Francisco , Bom Free , and Wash- ington Post . Six band students, Glenda Rueb, Joyce Rau, Jennette Bendewald, David Rath, Lynn Koerner, and David Kulm attended a music clinic at Northern State College on November 18, 1967. Leola began its marching career early in the year. This is the first year the band has ever attempted to present a marching show. The band began their marching season leading in their own Homecoming Parade on September 29, 1967. Their next performance was their marching show at the half of the Cres- bard-Leola football game. Next, they became part of the annual Gypsy Day Parade in Aberdeen, and participated for the first time in the marching show at Simmon's Field.
