Moming after moming the band practices marching fomiations. The community never sees the full band march at football games as many members are athletes involved in games. In the summer, some students have jobs which keep them from participating in parades. Thus, the full band is together only during class time and at the state marching contest in Casper.

They were a mature, strong group and were problably the strongest group we have had in six years. At the festival Lyman received superior ratings in both sight reading and performance for the concert and jazz bands. Hosting the festival may have detracted from the time they had to prepare, but work by the students and teachers allowed them to pull it off successfully. 'The kids took a lot more of the responsiblities and work this year than they had in the past. At the festival, about 80'Zi of the students were in solos or ensemblesg that shows you how much these kids wanted to participate, Brumbaugh added. Marching band was during the fall and students braved practices in the cold and sometimes wet momings. I like marching band the most because the tunes are jazzier and it gives us a chance to get out of the class room, said Sopho- more Brad Nelson. Their efforts paid off as they won the state marching competition for the second year. It was a blast. There were lots of people there that we didn't know and it was also fun playing, said Freshman Peggy Bluemel. Concert band took over during the second semester and dealt mainly with classical music. Freshman Archie Hubert noted, You had to play a lot of the same things, but it was better than marching band because it was easier to read your music when you are sitting down and it also makes it easier to memorize the music. During spirit assemblies and home games the pep band played to rally the crowd. We get a chance to fire up the crowd and make the school and the band look good for the other schools, said Sophomore Stephanie Eyre. The jazz band was an extracurricular group which practiced twice a week in the mornings and was mainly made up of brass instuments. They played in the fall music concert, at the Casper jazz festival and at the Special Olympics banquet. Brumbaugh added, It gave some of the students a good opportunity to play different instruments than they normally do in concert band? Jim Chapman Clubs I Band
