Practice, Practice Practice was a word the Leola band knew the meaning of quite well when the year was through. The members put in many faithful hours preparing for various musical events. Since the girls' district tourney was in Leola, Leola's band en- tertained the tournament crowd. They played two out of the three nights, and the stage band performed the other night. After several mornings of hard marching practice, the band ventured to Aberdeen to per- form in the Gypsy Day Parade. Majorette Shirley Kessler and Junior Majorette Cindi Schmidt led the band through the Aber- deen streets. After Gypsy Day, the band started working on Christmas music for the December 23 concert. After this holiday event, preparation for the spring concert went underway. A special treat at the spring concert for the audience and the band members was At a Dixieland Jazz Funeral. A jazz combo consisting of a clarinet, trombone, trumpet, tuba, and drums carried the melody of When the Saints Go Marching In while the other band mem- bers sang. Confetti, screams, whistles, and cheers were also used as special effects.
