Marching in Style Frenzied football games, noisy basketball games, and raucous pep rallies were all a part of band. It seemed as though wherever a ball was tossed, the band was there to entertain the spectators, while the team rested, and to raise the spirits of the team while they played ball. Football games, unlike basketball games, required a great deal of careful planning. While basketball game playing was more of a come — as — you — are — ana — have — a — great — time” fling, marching at a halftime show involved uniformity, seriousness, and precision. The members of the band played the respective roles as needed when needed. Yet another atmosphere was to be created as band members put away their marching shoes, hats, and overlays and donned formal attire for concert band. In past years, the LHS concert band has gone to the Tri-State Music Festival in Enid and twice earned the Outstanding Band award. This year, after receiving Superior Ratings at District Contest and going on to State, they decided to shoot higher and attend the Six Flags Over Texas band contest. After many hours of rehearsing, re-rehearsing, counting, adjusting, and learning, the band was ready to take tne 190 mile trip to Dallas, Texas. At the contest, they reached not only their goal of a Superior rating, but went above and beyond their goal and received in the mail a trophy for Outstanding Band in Class 2A.
