It’s totally new! The Scarlet Hurri- cane Band under the direction of a new conductor, Mr. Joseph J. Say- black, Jr., has gone up and up and ... up. The 56 members were hardly recognizable from last year with their new uniforms. The uni- forms added the final touch of con- fidence to marching band members as they struggled with precision drill, heading for their appearance at the Parry McCluer football game. They proved that LHS band has really “come of Age at Winter, Spring, and Pops concerts. Selling everything from tooth- brushes to tickets for a pancake breakfast, LHS musicians worked their way to the District V Band Festival and sent representatives to the All County and Regional Bands. With all the changes wrought this year, we can only wait with pride for our Scarlet Hurricane Band to ap- pear next year with . . . who knows what improvements? Saxophonist, tenor that is, Al Upshaw picks up some pointers from Mr. Sayblack which were a great help when Al made All Regional. Totally new, the Scarlet Hur- ricane Band has come of age 22
